Sylva: I Remain APC Governorship Candidate In Bayelsa State State

Timipre Sylva

Iyobosa Uwugiaren in Abuja

The Timipre Sylva Campaign for the Bayelsa State 2015 gubernatorial election has described as misleading and completely untrue reports that the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship Primary held on Tuesday, in Yenagoa has been cancelled or rescheduled.



In a statement issued on Friday in Abuja, the campaign organisation maintained that the primary, which was won by Chief Timipre Sylva, was conducted in accordance with the party’s rules and guidelines set by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and as such the party has no basis to cancel its outcomes.

The statement, signed on behalf of the campaign by Mr. Doifie Buokoribo, said: “We want to state categorically that since the primary election was conducted according to the rules and duly won by Sylva, he remains the candidate of the APC in Bayelsa State and any statement to the contrary is mere rumour.

“The National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, does not have the powers to unilaterally annul a state primary election. We are even shocked that he allowed his name to be used when he has not even received the report from members of the electoral panel.
