It is a generally known fact that Very Distinguished Senator Heineken Lokpobiri Ph.D is the Leader of APC in Bayelsa State. Lokpobiri has a higher political platform than all those who are parading themselves as leaders. He was Pioneer SPEAKER of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly.
He was Two two-term (8years) Senator of the most revered Nigerian Senate where he was very vocal. His voice was among the loudest and most renowned. He served as Hon. Minister of State for Agriculture. He is presently the Hon. Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil). We are talking about present glory and not old and lost glory.
Traditionally, Conventionally and Constitutionally, the President of the country is the Head and Leader of the Political party at the National level.
At the State level, it is the State Governor, but in situations where the Governor is in another party, the serving Minister from the state becomes the automatic Leader of the Party. People should stop adorning themselves with borrowed ROBES.
How can a former Local Government Chairman be Leader of the party at the LGA where there is an Incumbent Chairman or a former Governor the Leader of the party where there is an Incumbent Governor? So, why do we now argue or see that of the Minister differently?
The revered position of Very Distinguished Senator Heineken Lokpobiri Ph.D as the Leader of APC in Bayelsa State is never in contention. It is as clear as the distinction between Light and Darkness.
