Less than 24-hour to the gubernatorial election in Bayelsa state, unconfirmed reports as it that the former managing director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and aspirant in the last governorship primaries of the All Progressives Congress, Timi Alaibe may have concluded plans to cross back to the Peoples Democratic Party.
Is he pointing to his next move?
Leadership reported that he is scheduled to address his supporters at his Kolokuma/Okpokuma local government area of the state soon.
Alaibe had dumped the PDP three months ago to join the ruling APC. He defected to the APC along with bigwigs of the PDP in the state .
While then declaring for the ruling party, Alaibe said the reason why he dumped the PDP was because the party is bedeviled by endless intra-party squabbles and manipulations by the PDP governor.

The former NDDC boss then said: “People say change is constant but not for the sake of it. We are changing from poverty to prosperity. We are changing from intimidation, from manipulation, we are changing from wayo. A state like Bayelsa, an oil producing state cannot tolerate poverty.
“All over Bayelsa, there is poverty, abi dem curse us? How can we produce oil and scholarship payments are not made, no desk and benches in schools all that must stop because change has come to Bayelsa state.
“We believe and we want to make that commitment that all the leaders gathered her today signify the grassroots politics of Bayelsa state are changing to the APC under the leadership of Timipre Silva. We believe that February 28 is a forgone conclusion, creek heaven is our portion. We will sweep PDP away”
