Bayelsa Election:APC leads with wide margin in Goodluck Jonathan’s local govt
The results of the gubernatorial election in Bayelsa on Saturday, November 16, 2019, shows that the All Progressive Congress is leading at Goodluck Jonathan’s Ogbia Local Government Area.
Premium Times reports that from results of the wards collated so far in the local government, the Peoples Democratic Party is trailing the All Progressive Congress.
In Otuoke, where the ex-president voted, the APC won in all the polling units in the ward.
It is believed that Jonathan withdrew his support for the PDP over a disagreement between him and Governor Seriake Dickson on who should represent the party in the governorship election.
The former president was reported to have endorsed Timi Alaibe, while Dickson sponsored Duoye Diri to get the party’s ticket.
