The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State, Ogoriba, has dismissed claims by opposition figures that the party is heading for an internal collapse in the state.

He described the expectations of a crisis within the APC as unrealistic and politically motivated.

Political tensions in Bayelsa have continued to shape the state’s party landscape as the APC and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) compete for influence.

Comments from opposition actors suggesting that divisions within the APC could weaken the party have circulated in recent weeks.

Reacting to the claims, Ogoriba said the opposition’s belief that the APC would implode internally was misplaced.

According to him, the party remains united and focused on strengthening its structure across the state.

He stated that the APC leadership in Bayelsa is working to consolidate the party’s base and improve coordination among members.

Ogoriba said the expectation that the party would break apart was merely a “pipe dream” held by political opponents who were hoping to gain advantage from perceived divisions.

He also maintained that the APC in Bayelsa continues to operate with a clear structure and leadership direction.

The chairman stressed that the party’s activities are aimed at strengthening its position and preparing members for future political contests in the state.

The remarks highlight the ongoing rivalry between major political parties in Bayelsa, where both the APC and the PDP remain active in mobilizing supporters and consolidating political influence.

Statements from party leaders often reflect attempts to reassure supporters and project unity in the face of criticism from opponents.
