Bayelsa state lawmaker, Hon.Wilson Ayakpo Dauyegha and APC chairman in state fight dirty( video)

As Bayelsa state gubernatorial election scheduled to hold on November 16, is approaching, a video of Hon Wilson Ayakpo Dauyegha and chairman of APC in the state , Hon Jothan Amos, exchanging blows has surfaced online .

The fight started after Hon Wilson Ayakpo,the lawmaker representing Ekeremor Constituency 11 in Bayelsa State House of Assembly, tore a paper given to him by the state’s APC chairman to sign .

Eyewitness said both honourables disagreed on the mode of party gubernatorial primary .

In the trending video Hon.Wilson was heard shouting, ” what kind of party chairman are you? You are a stupid chairman. I will deal with you.”

After the video went viral online, the lawmaker issued a statement. In the statement he said he never assaulted the chairman but was only defending himself . He claimed the chairman tried to force him to sign a document he doesn’t know it’s content .

He said,

The chairman called me a night before the incident that he wanted to see me, I told him was in Port Harcourt but it was late, so he said since I was travelling tomorrow we’ll meet at the airport before departing for Abuja.”

On reaching the airport, the party chairman, Jothan Amos told me to come into his car with military men and was coercing and pacifying me into signing a document and I openly refused. He also said ever since he made me minority leader I have been avoiding him. This is really sad and it’s a wrong precedence to begin the elections.

I wasn’t even at the stakeholders meeting but I heard there wasn’t any tangible agreement, so why bring a document to force me to sign? That was why I jumped out of his car and pushed him to take defense, he said.

I tore the paper because while we were struggling in the car my pen drew a line, so I don’t want to be mentioned to have signed the document, he added.

It should be noted here that if a mode of election is to be chosen, it should be done the proper way with every member of the party agreeing and not coercing members secretly, which the party chairman has been doing since after the stake holders meeting.

The party chairman has been going about forcing members of the party with military men to sign documents on the mode of the elections, which has raised an uproar and serious concern to major stakeholders.

Since the outcome of the meeting was in stalemate, he would have allowed the major stakeholders meet and resolve issue before signing of documents, he ended
