Governor Seriake Dickson’s Restoration Campaign Organisation has advised Timipre Sylva of the All Progressives Congress, APC, against contesting the result of the just concluded governorship election in Bayelsa State at the tribunal because he will lose as he has no case.
The Director of Publicity of the campaign organisation, Jonathan Obuebite, in a statement on Monday, said in line with the “overwhelming support and voting trend in favour of PDP,” by the electorate in the state, the election was already won and lost.
Obuebite pointed out to the fact that the popularity of the PDP and track record of the governor were reasons the people of Bayelsa re-elected Dickson.
Noting that Dickson won with valid vote cast, the campaign organisation’s spokesman stated that APC would always find it difficult to win in the state, stressing that the result of the poll showed that the state was dominated by the PDP.
He urged Sylva and his party to work together with Dickson to move the state forward instead of going to court in what he described as “efforts in futility.”
He observed that Sylva did not “seemingly feel really bad” about the result of the poll because he was said to have gone clubbing after the results were declared.
“Sylva after losing the election went clubbing and drinking Hennessy with friends in all the three clubs he attended yesterday (Sunday). How can a man who just lost an election attend a club if he was expecting to win? He was buying drinks for everybody. So many Bayelsans found his behaviour strange, particularly after participating in an election in which no less than fourteen deaths were recorded and several others nursing various life threatening injuries,” Obuebite stated
