Bayelsa PDP Crisis Deepens As Alaibe Returns

The controversy  over the choice of a new chairman for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Bayelsa State, ahead the 2012 governorship election, has deepened, as the party’s national headquarters has suspended actions on the nomination of Chief James Dugo as the state acting chairman.

This is coming against the backdrop of the return of a former managing director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Mr Timi Alaibe to the PDP.

Alaibe, had secured a waiver from Abuja to enable him participate in the PDP governorship primary election.
