Mutterings over Egba’s defection to PDP persist in Bayelsa

THE defection of three-time Commissioner of Information in Bayelsa State, Chief Nathan Egba, from the All Progressives Congress, APC, to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has continued to puzzle some political stakeholders.

Egba served as commissioner for information in three different regimes up till the Timpire Sylva administration and was known for his political closeness to the former governor, who is also the leader of the APC in Bayelsa State.

However, Egba defected from the APC to the PDP following what sources in Bayelsa allege as a leadership crisis in the Sylva’s leadership of the party in the state.

A source privy to the development alleged the failure of Sylva to provide the correct leadership for the party in the state especially during the recent APC primaries.
