The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the November 11 Bayelsa State Governorship elections and incumbent Governor, Senator Douye Diri, insists that the candidature of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Timipre Sylva, has not been validated by the court, hence any vote for the APC will be declared invalid.

Diri, who was speaking in Agbere Community the headquarters of Sagbama Constituency III, during the grand finale of the constituency campaigns in the area yesterday, pointed out that the former governor and immediate past Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, HMSPR, has not been cleared by the courts to contest the November 11 governorship polls.

At Trofani Community, the governor who commissioned an electricity project linking the community to the national grid, urged the people not to be deceived by the mouth-watering promises of Sylva. “Today we are happy that public power supply has been restored and Trofani has now been reconnected to the national grid.

Also speaking at Agbere, Diri said: “Let me remind you that in this election that we are going on November 11, now Timipre Sylva is not a candidate, who said it? It is the court. Up till now they are filing and filing appeal and the date is getting closer. They will file and file out of time.
