The governorship candidate of the Labour Party in the forthcoming November 11, 2023 election in Bayelsa State, Udengs Eradiri, on Wednesday, dismissed the ongoing recruitment of more political appointees by Governor Douye Diri few weeks to the election as a self-delusional scheme that will not help him win the polls.
Eradiri said this on Wednesday when he addressed journalists in Yenagoa, the state capital, adding that Diri resorted to underhand tactics to hoodwink people by engaging them in an endless recruitment process in exchange for their votes after sensing his impending defeat in the election.
Eradiri, who sarcastically thanked the governor for signing some political players from the LP in his desperate attempts to boost his chances at the November election, said he was also aware of the ongoing plan by Diri to sign some willing state executive members of the party to create false impressions that the LP had collapsed into the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
