Bayelsa supplementary: Dickson’s defeat is sure, imminent Jan 9 – Sylva

-

The governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre Sylva Saturday said he is ready and willing to compete against Governor Seriake Dickson at any electoral contest any day because he is sure of defeating him.

Sylva, in a statement Saturday in Yenagoa, said though PDP is engaged in propaganda and underhand tactics, APC will remain undaunted and will repeat the feat of overwhelming votes and victory for APC on January 9 as was recorded during the cancelled election in Southern Ijaw Local Government area.

Sylva’s statement by Chief Nathan Egba, the Director of Media for the Sylva/Igiri, said, “He 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 APC vehemently protested the illegal cancellation of the Southern Ijaw election results which clearly would have put APC well ahead of 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.”
