Reports coming out of Bayelsa State indicate that the
state’s former governor, Mr. Timipre Sylva , had finally
dumped the party for the All Progressive Congress
(APC).
Sylva, an estranged member of the PDP, who took
succour in the fold of the Kawu Baraje-led new PDP
was said to have joined the APC with his array of
supporters.
A source close to the former governor told The Nation
that the former governor had toed the path of his
leaders in the nPDP.
“His fate is known. You know he was a principal
member of the nPDP and he was involved in all the
meetings and negotiations before the merger.
“He contributed in midwifing the process. If the nPDP
has joined the APC, it means he has also joined the
APC. He can’t back out from the decision of the nPDP.
“Also you remember that PDP dumped Sylva and
denied him a second-term ticket despite all the
sacrifices he made for the party including his
contributions to the election of President Goodluck
Jonathan. So if Sylva and other like minds decided to
dump the party for APC, his action is justified.”
The former governor, who was denied a second term
ticket by the PDP was said to have taken the decision
in his bid to bounce back to political relevance.
