The lawmaker representing Ekeremor Constituency One, Hon. Tare Porri, has dramatically withdrawn from the APC Bayelsa State House of Assembly primary contest.
Porri, who was seeking the party’s ticket for a return to the Assembly, announced his decision during a press briefing in what he described as a move taken after extensive consultations with stakeholders and his immediate family.
The withdrawal comes as a last-minute twist, leaving the race wide open just hours before delegates are expected to vote.
