The All Progressives Congress candidate for the November 11 gubernatorial election in Bayelsa State, Timipre Sylva said the People’s Democratic Party, PDP’s backdoor tactics for winning election won’t work again in the state.
Sylva stated, “The problem in Bayelsa is like that of a dog that has tasted blood. They’ve come once behind through the back door so it has now become something they want to do all the time, they want to come through the back door. “But that has not deterred us at all, we did not stop campaigning, we decided to continue with our village to village campaign, house to house campaign. Today, even the PDP is aware that in a fair contest that they can never win that election. So if they brag on TV that they are going to win, they know they can never win this election”, he said.
“Even if I am his direct son, I think the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria does not in any way prohibit anyone to contest for any position as far as this country is concerned.”
