In a swift reaction to an online publication titled: “Group queries Bayelsa deputy governor’s loyalty, warns Gov. Douye Diri”, the governor described the report authored by the group, Bayelsa Progressive Vanguard, as ill-timed, wicked and a mere concoction of mischief makers bent on creating discord between him and the deputy governor.
The governor, in a statement by his Director of New Media, Dr Kola Oredipe, said the sinister motive of the authors of the publication was clear and that no amount of such concocted misinformation was capable of destabilising his government.
