Bayelsa Poll: Sylva Says, APC Will Participate In The Election

The Minister of State for Petroleum, Mr Timipre Sylva, has said that the All Progressive Congress APC would participate in the gubernatorial election scheduled for tomorrow (Saturday).

He noted that a Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has granted APC Stay of Execution on the judgment of a federal high court that nullified the primaries of the party.

The minister disclosed this at a press conference in Yenagoa the Bayelsa state capital on Thursday.

It could be recalled that the Federal High Court sitting in Yenagoa, Bayelsa, has on Thursday voided the direct primary conducted by the APC that produced Mr David Lyon as the governorship candidate of the party.

He however, described the federal high court judgment nullifying the primaries of APC as a bias judgment.

Sylva said “I must tell you that the judgment nullifying the primary was clearly a bias one with all due respect to the judiciary.

“So, I have come to address you because we have good news for the people of Bayelsa. The court in Abuja has granted us stay of execution.

“That means, we are fully as a party in the position of contesting this election.

“Because we know that the people of Bayless are seriously behind us and we will win the election.

“Everyone in Bayelsa knows that APC has the majority in the state and if there is an election today, it is clear even to blind and the deaf that APC will win.

“The electorate should go en-masse and vote the candidature of the APC, Mr David Lyon.”
