Former governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre Sylva has urged his supporters not to be worried about the postponement of the All Progressives Congress primary in the state because he will emerge as the candidate of the party.
In a statement by his media adviser, Mr. Doifie Buokoribo, Sylva said “I appeal to all our supporters, delegates, and the entire APC family in Bayelsa State to stay focussed, positive, and determined as we wait for the new date, September 22, fixed by the national headquarters of our great party for the primary election in the state.
“This is the foundation upon which our founding fathers had agitated and won the struggle for a distinct political territory within Nigeria. That resolve, having been backed by the popular opinion of our people, I assure you that we are on course.
“I have no doubt that come next Tuesday I would emerge the candidate of our great party, APC, for the December 5 governorship election.
“The primary election is just a process to our ultimate goal of retrieving our collective political destiny from the PDP grabbers, who have arrested the development of the state since 2012, and fulfilling it for the good of all.”
