The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has officially disqualified the Governor of Bayelsa state, Timipre Sylva, from participating in the state primaries for the governorship elections. The National Working Committee of the PDP today released a statement announcing that the governor, and a few others including Timi Alaibe and TV executive, Ben Bruce, did not make the final list of qualified candidates.

Saharareporters broke the news a few weeks ago revealing that a final decision had been made to prevent the governor from returning to office under the banner of the PDP. However, Sylva vigorously denied our reports and went ahead to engage in bribing PDP officials to reinstate him.

A PDP source told SaharaReporters that the NWC dragged out Mr. Sylva's disqualification to stop him from moving to another party too soon The source stated that Mr. Sylva will be disqualified even if he runs on another party platform.

NWC Press statement below:
The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has concluded the review of the reports of the Screening Committee and Screening Appeal panel for the gubernatorial primaries in Bayelsa State scheduled to hold on the 18th of November 2011.

2. After a thorough review of the two reports, and after a painstaking examination of all the issues raised about each and every aspirant, the NWC has cleared seven out of the 11 aspirants that purchased forms to contest for the primaries. Those who were cleared and shall contest the gubernatorial primaries are the following:

I. Orufa Justine Boloubo
II. Dickson Seriake Henry
III. Enai Christopher Fullpower
IV. Kalango Michael Youppele
V. Francis Amaebi
VI. Ekiyegha Francis Korobido
VII. Austin Febo

3. However, in this last and final batch, four of the aspirants did not scale through the Party screening process and have therefore not been cleared to contest the primaries. Those not cleared are.

I. Alaibe Ndutimi
II. Ben Murray Bruce
III. Timipre Marun Sylva
IV. Igali Godknows Boladet.

4. All Members of the Party, especially stakeholders in Bayelsa State should note that this is the final decision on the status of all aspirants for the forthcoming Primaries. All efforts should now be geared towards mobilizing Party members for the forthcoming primaries and Elections in the State.

5. In view of the forgoing, all those aspirants whose names appear in para 2 above will be dully issued with final Clearance Certificates to enable them stand for the forthcoming primary elections. For the avoidance of doubt, and in line with the provisions of our guidelines for primary elections, no aspirant can or should use a provisional certificate as a basis for unilaterally declaring himself or herself as a candidate of Peoples' Democratic Party for the Gubernatorial elections in Bayelsa State. Even where he or she does so, it is of no value, effect or utility for the primary elections and is therefore redundant.

6. The NWC wishes to reiterate it's commitment towards enforcing discipline within the ranks of the Party at all levels. We shall therefore not hesitate to invoke disciplinary measures on any member who disregards lawful Party directives or who engages in acts capable of undermining the Party's cohesion or initiates and takes any step that could lead to the breaching of public peace.

lalasticlala Mynd44....

Where are the hypocrites??

Hmmm anyway check my signature jare

They are now speechless.... Indomie generation..

Note:

The Governor here was not disqualified for having unverified credentials, anti party activities or Taking the party to court...

He was disqualified for allegedly disrespecting the Wife of the President, Patience Jonathan

Wike was in bed with Jonathan and Mama piss when Sylva was disqualified without any valid reason. He didn’t say anything back then but today, he’s making noise and spraying spit all over the place over that the disqualification of Obaseki.

Before anybody can demand justice for Obaseki, they must demand justice for the 14 members-elect of the State House of Assembly who have been denied their legislative seats illegally by Obaseki. They won election just like Obaseki and they deserve to be allowed to perform the constitutional functions that their people elected them to perform.

CilicMarin:
This was a "sitting" Governor...

When I say ipob yoots are useless, don't argue with me....

For your mind now, you don make sense

So IPOB are the market women, teachers, pensioners who wants Obaseki bah

You know nothing about politics otherwise you will not compare a known thief like Timi to Obaseki

You guys truly deserve your leaders.

Timi Sylva is very corrupt, A spy and a backstaber

Representing the party will mean destroying the image of the party!

But Obaseki was disqualified because of certificates which have since be cleared by the university

So there's no basis for comparison here.

Jonsthan, Mama piss and Wike are far more corrupt that Timipre Sylva.

Atiku that is the darling of you guys is on record as the most corrupt Vice President in the history of Nigeria. The US senate indictment is still hanging on his neck like a badge of honour.

We are comparing ex governor Timi and Obaseki, please dont lose focus

Wike said "How can APC disqualify a sitting governor?"

Someone pls send this article to Wike to remind him of what his PDP role models Mr and Mrs Jonathan did to Timipreye Silva, "A SITTING GOVERNOR"

So the PDP taught the APC all these ill vices after all? The difference between them is that the PDP did theirs with open impunity.

Edo is not Bayelsa

ODUBEZE:

Corruption is corruption. Obaseki just like every single governor in Nigeria is also corrupt.

In addition, refusing to properly inaugurate the State House of Assembly, demolishing the properties of political opponents, using thugs and government agencies to harass the national chairman of his party etc is the height of corruption. Obaseki is worse than Sylva.

I would have agreed with you if Oshiomole was a saint

In fact he has not receive half the treatment he dealt Obasanjo and yet he is a chairman of a national party today

Oshiomole should learn to let go of some issues.

He trusted Obaseki decisions when he was the governor so what has changed?

He's just afraid of losing power and nothing more.

Ipob don buy market.

Wike wasn't a Governor then

Why must you rub the hypocrisy of PDP on their hurt faces?

This was the time when Jonathan zombies defended every move of PDP, the Federal Government, and the Nigerian military.

Every allegation against the federal government or PDP was considered false, in fact, every opposition was considered a terrorist sympathizer.

Your guess is as good as mine concerning the tribe of those people who would have defended such moves when it happened.

In fact, I will go look for the Nairaland topic that was created then, so we can call out the steadfast hypocrites.

They are the wailing voices in the wilderness who now regard that opposition is good for democracy, and that every allegation against the government is true.

They know themselves and their tribe, and their current agony is enough shame, so I won't shame them any further.
