APC cancels primary election, Timipre Sylva says no way

Despite the fact that the All Progressives Congress, has cancelled the governorship primary in Bayelsa state, former governor, Timipre Sylva, insists that he remains the winner.

The campaign organisation of Sylva says that the campaign was conducted in accordance with the rules and guidelines of the Independent National Electoral Commission.

Sylva however, maintains that he won the primary fair and square and as such, the APC has no basis to cancel its outcomes.

The statement, signed by Mr. Doifie Buokoribo, said:

“We want to state categorically that since the primary election was conducted according to the rules and duly won by Sylva, he remains the candidate of the APC in Bayelsa State and any statement to the contrary is mere rumour.

“The National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, does not have the powers to unilaterally annul a state primary election.

We are even shocked that he allowed his name to be used when he has not even received the report from members of the electoral panel.”
