Last week, the suspended Chairman of the Bayelsa State chapter of the APC, Chief Tiwei Orunimighe, said the governorship candidate of the party, Chief Timipre Sylva, collected money from Mr. Lokpobiri for the ministerial slot.
In a statement issued by the Special Assistant of Media, Donald Ojogo, Mr. Lokpobiri stated that the crisis within the APC in Bayelsa State is being “orchestrated by an insignificant few within the party and oiled by some external forces who feel threatened about their political future, especially as the APC challenges the outcome of the last governorship election at the Election Petition Tribunal."
According to Mr. Lokpobiri, he was found worthy for the position and was appointed, adding that he did not need to pay anybody.
He also dismissed Mr. Orunimighe's comments that he did not believe in the APC, stating that he has been an avid supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari since 2003.
