The high stakes game to remove the current governor of Bayelsa state, Timipre Sylva, from the line up of People's Democratic Party (PDP) candidates for the upcoming governorship election in the state appears to have taken hold. A few minutes ago the Gubernatorial Screening Appeal Committee of the PDP in Bayelsa State released the names of three candidates approved as gubernatorial aspirants for the upcoming governorship elections in the state. The name of Timipre Sylva was excluded by the committee.
However, the committee cleared Youpele Kalango, Christopher Enai and Henry Seriake Dickson as eligible candidates.
A statement jointly signed by the former deputy governor of Ekiti state, Mrs Abiodun Olujimi and Alhaji Abba Anas Adamu stated that only the three candidates are eligible to contest the governorship elections in the state, leaving out Timipre Sylvia who was reportedly removed for operating foreign accounts and Silverbird TV owner , Ben Bruce, who the panel claimed had dual citizenship.www.mannastores.com
