The Governorship candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, Christopher Enai, says he’s not defecting to the All Progressives Congress just yet, despite being in love with the party.
Enai, on Thursday, purportedly led the gubernatorial candidates of nine other political parties in Bayelsa State to support the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Timipre Sylva.
Speaking at Ekeremor local government area of the state, the APGA governorship candidate announced the mass withdrawal, while refusing to reveal the names of the other parties’ candidates.
“My withdrawal is not that I am leaving APGA entirely. I want a situation where we can achieve a new Bayelsa and I believe that the APC can do it.
“My supporting the APC is not that I do not have followers in APGA but my reason is that I want to support my brother, Timipre Sylva, because this is the time to face the reality in Bayelsa politics.
“I must say that I am in love with the APC. So, I am using this opportunity to call on our people to vote for the real change and for good governance.
“Of course, I am not the only candidate defecting, I know them all but I am not in the right position to mention them for publication. Right now, out of the 20 political parties in the race, about 10 have stepped down.”
