There are reports that the suspension and counter suspension of councilors of Sagbama Local Government legislative arm may be an orchestrated plot to sack the chairman of the council, chief Peres Peretu ahead of the April general election.
The Sagbama legislative arm recently suspended five councilors namely Victoria Clement , Napoleon Akoso, Igoniwaori Tonkumor, Ebi Tou-Aregha and lovely Aguov as a result the power play within the council.
A statement by the leader of the Grassroot legislative arm, Mr. Gesiye Abidde and the deputy clerk, Mr. Preye Okorieye says the suspension takes immediate effect, an indication that the House in divided.
Since the emergence of Peres Pertu as chairman of Sagbama council after the April 2010 local government polls in Bayelsa State, the council especially the legislative arm has been enveloped in crisis.
There are indications that the plot to oust the council chairman from office may be as a result of his closeness to Chief Timi Alaibe who recently emerged the Governorship candidate of the Labour Party to confront incumbent Governor Timipre Sylva.
In 2006, the council chairman was the state organizing secretary of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) under the leadership of Chief Fred Agbedi whose emergence was due to the influence of the former presidential aide on Niger Delta Affairs.
It was gathered that a former deputy chairman of the PDP in the state and former commissioner in Governor Sylva administration who hail from Sagbama town has been lobbying the council boss to support Alaibe’s gubar project.
The former deputy chairman who in 2003 led the People’s Democratic Party to destabilize Timi Alaibe’s attempt to unseat Chief Diepreye Alamieyesiegha’s administration in currently the arrow- head of Alaibe’s guber project.
