The ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was accused of employing dubious tactics, including mercenary lawsuits and underhand dealings, in an attempt to create confusion among the residents of Bayelsa State. Morka condemned these tactics, noting the APC's commitment to a fair and transparent electoral process.
The APC announced that its governorship campaign flag-off is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 14, 2023, in Yenagoa, the capital of Bayelsa State.
Morka extended a warm invitation to all stakeholders, party members, supporters, and the general public to participate in the event, stating the party's confidence in securing victory in the upcoming election.
