Sylva
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Perekeme Kpodo, on Saturday, debunked reports that former Governor of Bayelsa State and governorship aspirant of the party, Timipre Sylva, had been adopted as consensus candidate.
Kpodo, a founding member of the APC in Bayelsa, dismissed the insinuation as a figment of some people’s imagination.
He said: “The news flying around in the state that Timipre Sylva has been adopted by the leaders of the APC is not untrue and has no basis.
“Nobody has adopted Sylva as a consensus candidate. As it is now, if the national chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, and national working committee of the party hear this, they will be very angry because it is a disgrace to the APC and it is capable of creating tension in the party.”
Kpodo reiterated that adopting Sylva would negatively affect the party’s chances at the December 5 governorship election as incumbent Governor Seriake Dickson will have an easy ride.
He insisted that the party’s constitution stipulates that any aspirant with criminal case hanging on his neck would not be the party’s candidate
