Sylva wins APC Bayelsa ticket
Former Bayelsa state governor, Timipre Sylva, has won the
All Progressive Congress’ ticket for the state governorship elections.
Sylva, who was governor of
Bayelsa in 2 spells between 2007 and 2012, got 726 votes, with the next closest
aspirant, Timi
Alaibe, having just 4 votes.
The result didn’t come as a shock to Sylva, who had previously
predicted he’d win with a landslide.
He said, “I have no doubt that, come next Tuesday, I will emerge
the candidate of our great party for the December 5 governorship election.
“The primary election is just a process to our ultimate goal of
retrieving our collective political destiny from the Peoples Democracy Party
grabbers, who have arrested the development of the state since 2012, and
fulfilling it for the good of all,” Sylva added.
