The candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC in the inconclusive Bayelsa State gubernatorial election, Chief Timipre Sylva has urged his supporters to remain steadfast because his victory will soon be restored.
In a statement by the Director, Media and Publicity of the Sylva-Igiri Campaign Organisation, Chief Nathan Egba, Sylva said he is rest assured that he will receive the best Christmas gift ever.
The statement read “Our leaders, the APC governorship candidate Chief Sylva and the Minister of State for Agriculture and Rural Development, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, are working hard to resolve the issues around the so-called cancellation of the Southern Ijaw Local Government Area election results.
“We are very confident that our victory will be restored in no distant time and our candidate, Chief Sylva, declared as the duly elected governor of Bayelsa State having won the majority of votes and satisfied all requirements of the Electoral Law.
“As a party, we know that whatever happened at Southern Ijaw LGA could not have been worse than what took place in Sagbama and Ekeremor, yet those results were not cancelled. Let us remain positive and prepare for the best Christmas gift ever.”
