A group under the aegis of Concerned Bayelsans for Change and Good Governance, has asked the national leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to bar the two front runners in the party’s Governorship primary election in Bayelsa State, Timipre Sylva and Timi Alaibe, from contesting the rescheduled primary election.
In a letter addressed to the national chairman of the party, John Odigie Oyegun and signed by Preye Dombraiyefa and Francis Arifagha, President and Secretary of the group respectively, warned that the duo should be dropped from the race, in the interest of peace in Bayelsa State.
Captioned “Save Bayelsa, Save Niger-Delta,” the group said that “After exhaustive deliberations and critical appraisal of the gamut of events vis – a – vis the bloody turn out of the primaries and the danger the Edo State Governor escaped from on the 19th of September, 2015 at the Samson Siasia Stadium in Yenagoa, we resolved as follows: “That in the interest of peace and the success of the Party the duo of Chief Timipre Sylva and Mr. Ndutimi Alaibe should be barred from contesting the primaries of the party.”
