Chief Yakiah, who is a founding member of the party, said the party had only one leader in the state, who is the current Minister of State for Petroleum, Chief Timipre Sylva, and one executive, led by Mr Amos Jothan.
A group led by Ebierien Fala Itubor and said to be loyal to the immediate past Minister of State for Agriculture, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, had last week opened a parallel secretariat in Opolo axis of Yenagoa, claiming they are the authentic party exco in the state.
But Yakiah, who said the leadership of the party had groomed the party in the state to become a formidable platform, said those claiming to be a faction of the party were just out to create crisis ahead of the forthcoming convention.
