In a statement on Thursday, the spokesperson of the Bayelsa APC, Doifie Ola Buokoribo, said that the suspension of Lokpobiri and others followed the recommendation of the fact-finding and disciplinary committee inaugurated on 31st of July, 2019 and in accordance with article 21(B) and (D) of the APC constitution.

“The committee objectively looked into the several allegations of anti-party activities levelled against them that ran contrary to the provision of the APC constitution, morally and a good conscience which brought about great electoral misfortune for the party,” he said.

“The action was to set clear signals to deviants masquerading in the party especially those working against its collective interest and aspirations.
