The governor of Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri has claimed that there is a plot by the opposition to cause mayhem in Ogbia Local Government Area during the November 11 governorship election.
He alleged that the opposition was planning to bring in thugs camouflaged as military personnel to cause mayhem in Anyama-Ogbia.
Speaking via a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Daniel Alabrah on Saturday, the governor accused the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Timipre Sylva, of being anti-development and anti-progress.
He spoke at the Ogbia Constituency 2 rally at Otuokpoti after campaign stops at the riverine Anyama-Ogbia and Emadike communities.
He said, “This battle is between those who are for and against development. It is between light and darkness. We are talking about your development as individuals and communities.
“Let the world know what they are planning is that in Anyama where we are strong, they are going to bring youths who are not from here, sew them military uniforms and cause mayhem in connivance with one or two people from here. Let the world and the military take note.”
Reeling out projects embarked upon by his administration in the local government, he promised to do more when re-elected into office.
