Keep Papa Adeboye Out Of Bayelsa Politics: NLG

 

The New Generation Leaders (NGL) has  called on the Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State to focus on governance rather than spending the tax payers money on a porported visit to the general overseer of RCCG Enoch Adeboye.

The group in a statement by the  Coordinator of NGL in Yenagoa Local Government Area, Comrade Precious Charles Odede on Wednesday advised the governor to leave Pa Adeboye out of Bayelsa politics stating that he is neither a member of APC or PDP.

Odede  stated that  Akpe was to lead Diri to Pa Adeboye and beg him to prevail on the First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu, an RCCG pastor, to support his reelection.

 

Stating that it is also important to note that Pa Adeboye is a father to all and RCCG is a church that isn't leaning to any political party, it  called on the Chief of Staff to governor Diri,  Peter Akpe from dragging Pa Adeboye into Bayelsa  politics ahead of the November 11 Governorship election.

He said Diri locked Mrs. Tinubu out of the Government House in Yenagoa and refused to accord her the courtesy of receiving her disclosing that Diri and his team had concluded plans to visit Pa Adeboye and solicit his support for the poll.

He said the plot would collapse like a pack of cards and recalled how Diri treated Mrs. Tinubu with disdain in 2022  when the First Lady, who was then campaigning for the election of her husband visited Bayelsa to commiserate with victims of the flood disaster in the state.

The statement read l"We urge the Bayelsa state government to save tax payers monies, shelve the Lagos trip and focus on the task of governance".

"I have  it on good authority  that there are plans by the Diri government to solicit Pa Adeboye's support'

"We understand Peter Akpe, Chief of Staff to the governor is trying to broker a meeting between Governor Diri and Pa Adeboye in Lagos.

" It is expected that Pa Adeboye will in turn prevail on the first lady, H.E Senator Remi Tinubu who is also an RCCG pastor to support Diri on sentimental grounds".

"Unfortunately, our very dear first lady will not give in to that desperate plot. She remembers too well how Gov Diri locked her out of Creek Haven Gates last year.
