The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Timipre Sylva says he would defeat Seriake Dickson in any electoral contest.
This was disclosed on Saturday, in a statement released by the Director of Media for the Sylva/Igiri, Chief Nathan Egba.
Sylva accused the PDP of propaganda and underhand tactics but said his party will remain undaunted and would again, win the election in Southern Ijaw local Government area.
“Sylva is ready and willing to compete against Governor Seriake Dickson at any electoral contest any day because he is sure of defeating him. Unfortunately, however, Governor Dickson of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), knows this fact and has been engaging in all manner of underhand tactics to win this particular election.”
“It is for this reason that the APC vehemently protested the illegal cancellation of the Southern Ijaw election results which clearly would have put APC well ahead of the PDP.”
“But with all the stakeholders having agreed on a new date, the Sylva- Igiri Campaign Organisation is poised to galvanise our support-base in order to repeat the same feat we performed in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area and some other polling units across the other 6 Local Government Areas where supplementary elections will hold.”
“Our strength is in the fact that majority of the people of Southern Ijaw LGA are with us and are still committed to standing by us through this whole process in order to eventually celebrate a hard won victory,” the statement said.
