A former Governor of Bayelsa State, Timipre Sylva, has emerged the candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the December 5 governorship election in the state after winning the party’s primary. Sylva polled 981 votes to defeat his distant rival, Mr. Godknows Powell, who scored 39 votes in a peaceful primary conducted at the state secretariat of the party in Yenagoa on Wednesday. The primary was conducted by a seven-member electoral committee led by Brig. Gen. Mansur Dan-Ali (retd.). With this victory, Sylva will face incumbent Governor Seriake Dickson, who defeated him in the 2011 governorship election. A two-time former member of the House of Representatives, Warman Ogoriba scored 28 votes. Another aspirant, Diekivie Ikiogha, scored 22 votes while Ebite Williams got nine votes and Charity Valdego scored seven votes. Messrs Preye Aganaba and Febo Austin scored eight and seven votes respectively, among others.
