Dickson and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bayelsa State yesterday described the gubernatorial candidate of the All progressive Congress (APC) Sylva as unelectable.
The APC in a quick reaction alleged that the PDP led administration in the state would be sent packing from Creek Haven.
The PDP in a statement by its Secretary, Mr. Keku Godspower showed his disapointment at the choice of Sylva in place of an eligible candidate, stressing that it certain, the APC is not prepared for any serious outing at the election.
Godspower alleged that since Sylva’s emergence, there had been tension and apprehension among the people of bayelsa, which he attributed to Sylva’s alleged poor human rights existing records.
While aruging the people to cast thier vote for the PDP in the election, he also called on the Federal Government to deploy its security agencies to take urgent attempts to ensure the security of lives and property in the state.
“With the December 5 governorship election around the corner, we call on the people to outrightly reject Sylva’s candidacy. Everybody in Bayelsa knows that Sylva is not electable,” he stated.
Responding, the APC said: “We know the PDP game plan was to prevent the emergence of a strong and popular APC governorship candidate so that they can easily repeat their trademark shenanigan of aborting democratic competition and stealing victory without a contest.
“With that deception, they stole the mandate of the people in 2011, when both Chief Timipre Sylva and Mr. Ndutimi Alaibe were dubiously excluded. All the berserk disparagement of Sylva now by the PDP is an understandable manifestation of fear and frustration over their impending defeat at the December 5 election. That frenzy is understandable. We will make Dickson history.”
