Dickson desperate to upturn APC victory in Bayelsa- Sylva

A former Governor of Bayelsa State and Leader of All Progressives Congress ( APC ) in the state, Chief Timipre Sylva, on Monday said the incumbent Governor, Seriake Dickson, was desperately scheming to upturn APC victory in the state.

Sylva, who dismissed the protest of PDP leaders and aides to Dickson seeking the cancellation of elections in Nembe-Bassambiri and Southern Ijaw, told the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to fall victim of Dickson’s antics.

He said Dickson having seen that his candidates including Alhaji Atiku Abubakar lost in Nembe-Bassambiri and in Southern Ijaw, had resorted to propaganda and lies to deceive INEC and rob the APC and Buahri of their victory.

Sylva, however, claimed that the governor was behind all the violence he accused the APC of adding that the dead casualty in Nembe was a member of the APC.

He said it had been the style of the governor to be playing the victim while dealing with his perceived enemies noting that it was irresponsible for a governor to be heating up the polity with unnecessary protest.
