JUST IN: Governorship Aspirant Of PDP Decamps To APC

Great Joshua Maclver

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), aspirant in the Bayelsa 2019 governorship election, Great Joshua Maclver, has decamped to the All Progressives Congress (APC).This comes barely 24 hours after the PDP primaries, in which Mr Maclver lost to Senator Douye Diri, who emerged as the flag bearer of the party in the November 16 gubernatorial election.

According to the decampee, he has decided to join hands and form “great” alliance with Chief David Lyon, candidate of the APC in the Nov. 16 gubernatorial election, to “flush” the PDP out of Bayelsa, Daily Post reports.

In a letter made available to the Press and addressed to the ward chairman, Olodiama Ward 4, Yenogoa, the governorship aspirant described the reason for his decision as “strictly personal.”

He thanked the PDP for giving him the opportunity to be part of “a building process” from the Ward, Local Government level and the State at large.

Maclver has since been received by ward chairman of the APC where he fulfilled all necessary requirements to register his membership with the party.
