Yenagoa—The special adviser to Governor Douye Diri on political matters, High Chief Collins Cocodia has praised a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State, Prof. Seiyefa Brisibe for dumping the party.
He described Brisibe as a “dogged politician who always stands for the truth.”
Brisibe, who was the alternate Director-General of the APC Campaign Council in the 2019 Bayelsa gubernatorial election, announced his official resignation from the APC via a statement released to the public on Friday.
According to Cocodia, Brisibe has taken the right step by leaving the APC, insisting that the party has not only failed Nigerians but taken the country several miles backward, which can only be corrected if the PDP takes over power in 2023.
The governor’s political adviser commended Brisibe for expressing his desire to join the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) and work closely with Diri to contribute towards the development of Bayelsa.
The achievements, ongoing programs and projects of the Diri-led government are glaring for all to see, hence the reason why he has continued to receive wide encomiums and support from Bayelsans both home and abroad, Cocodia said.
“Brisibe’s coming to the PDP,” Cocodia notes, “will not only strengthen the party, but his ideas will help drive the state forward, towards realizing the dreams of the founding fathers.”
Cocodia who was a former youth development commissioner also encouraged other chieftains of the APC to join the gale of defection to the PDP which according to him had always brought real infrastructural development to the state and the federal government.
“I encourage other APC chieftains to join the Miracle Governor in building project Bayelsa,” he stated.
