A former Bayelsa State Governor, Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, has denied the speculations that he is nursing ambition to contest in the gubernatorial election in Bayelsa State in 2016 under the platform of All Progressive Congress, describing the rumour as a complete fallacy and an act of mischief.
In a statement on Friday, the former governor said he had neither nursed nor discussed any plan to run for the governorship of Bayelsa State with anybody.
He called on his supporters and the people of the state to disregard the report, describing it as the handiwork of mischief makers.
According to him, he remains a staunch member of the Peoples Democratic Party and has no intention to abandon the party, let alone running for an office under the platform of another party.
He stressed that he would rather support and contribute to ongoing efforts aimed at rebuilding and repositioning the PDP.
Alamieyeseigha, who reaffirmed his support for the administration of Dickson, expressed satisfaction with the performance of the PDP-led government in the state.
