The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is quietly maneuvering to exploit the internal discord within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State. The APC's recent primary elections have reportedly created significant controversies, providing an opening for the opposition party.

Bayelsa State holds particular significance as the home turf of the APC's national leader, Senator Seriake Dickson. The fallout from the party's primaries in his home state could have repercussions for his leadership and the party's unity at a national level.
