How PDP Is Stealing S/South States – Sylva
Cites Bayelsa, Edo As Examples Of PDP Theft
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP took Edo State from the All Progressives Congress, APC through the backdoor after taking Bayelsa State in a similar way via the courts, the minister of state, petroleum, Mr. Timipire Sylva has said.
Sylva who is chairman of the Contact and Mobilization Committee of the APC National Campaign Council of the Edo state Governorship Election, speaking on the sidelines of the inauguration of the committee declared that the PDP incumbency would be temporary.
He said that the fact that PDP stole Edo before the election meant that the state would be returned to the APC after the election.
He said; “All of us in the South South believe that this election must be won. Edo state is our only APC state in the South South.
“A few months ago, as you are all aware, they took Bayelsa State from us through the back door after we won the election and now through the back door again, they have taken Edo State but luckily we have the opportunity of reclaiming Edo state in a few weeks from now and every South-South APC member is of the consensus that we must reclaim Edo.
“It is our stronghold in the region and therefore we are all geared up, we will all go to Edo state. We want to assure you that you should not entertain any doubt that Edo state will be an APC state very soon come September 19.
“Election is not all about finance. First if you say the power of incumbency, it is an APC incumbency that has been stolen by the PDP. So, that kind of incumbency has a comma and that is why we believe that such incumbency will not work.
“The Edo people know that Edo state is for APC and I want to assure you that we are in touch with our people in Edo state and we know that we are the dominant party in Edo state and we are going to win this election”.
