The All Progressive Congress (APC), said despite the subsistent court ruling, Chief Timipre Sylva is and remains the Bayelsa State Governorship Candidate of the party in the November 11, 2023 Governorship election.
The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja had disqualified the candidate of the APC on the ground that he was not eligible to participate in the gubernatorial contest having already spent five years in office as governor of the state.
The statement reads: “Against the backdrop of an Abuja Federal High Court decision that disqualified the Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Timipre Sylva, we wish to state categorically that Chief Sylva is and remains the Bayelsa State Governorship Candidate of our great Party in the November 11, 2023 Governorship election.
“Our Party and its Candidate have duly instructed the legal team to appeal the said decision of the Federal High Court, diligently and expeditiously. “With nothing to offer the Bayelsa electorate, following its lacklustre performance as the ruling party, the jittery PDP in the Bayelsa state has since resorted to mercenary lawsuits, underhand dealings and antics to distract and create confusion among the good people of the state.
