Former Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre Sylva, will win the
rescheduled governorship primary of the All Progressives Congress,
his campaign team has said.
Sylva was declared winner of the disputed primary held at the
Samson Siasia Sports Complex, Yenagoa.
The national leadership of the APC cancelled the primary on
Monday and rescheduled the primary for Tuesday through
Wednesday.
But the Timipre Sylva Campaign Organisation has described the
invalidation of the primary election as unfortunate.
A statement in Yenagoa on Tuesday by Mr. Doifie Buokoribo, on
behalf of the campaign team, however said Sylva would abide by
the party’s decision because as a loyal party member, he believes in
the supremacy of the party.
The campaign organisation in the statement titled, ‘We Will Win
Again,’ told its supporters to remain calm and steadfast, saying,
“Ultimately, our victory is sure.”
The statement by the campaign team read in part, “The cancellation
of the September 22 primary, where Chief Timipre Sylva was
overwhelmingly voted by the APC family in our state to fly the
party’s flag at the December 5 governorship election, is unfortunate.
“But as loyal and faithful party folks, we have the serenity to accept
the decision in the larger interest of our great party. We urge our
teeming supporters to remain peaceful and unruffled, rest assured
that all is well.
“Ultimately, our victory is sure. Our hope cannot be annulled. Our
mission to rescue Bayelsa State from the grip of maladministration
and underdevelopment is a task that must be accomplished.”
It urged delegates to come out en masse than ever before on
Wednesday to repeat the “overwhelming endorsement you gave
Sylva on September 22.”
Though there had been fears that Sylva might head for the court to
stop the new primary election, sources said influential members of
the party prevailed on him not to take any action that would be
inimical to the larger interest of the party.
Sylva was said to have dropped the idea of going to court and
decided to participate in the fresh primary to safeguard the interest
of the party ahead of the December 5 governorship election.
