Bayelsa Guber: Sylva Having Sleepless Nights – Gov Diri Mocks Rival After INEC Disqualification

The governor of Bayelsa State, Douye Diri, has ridiculed his main opponent in the upcoming November 11 election, Timipre Sylva, who was disqualified by the electoral commission.

Diri said Sylva was restless and would remain so because of the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Diri made the remark on Friday at Igbedi community in Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area of the state. He said Sylva was still ineligible to contest based on the first amended INEC list.

He advised the people of Bayelsa State to vote wisely and not to throw away their votes on a party that is not on the ballot.

Diri also promised to deliver more development projects to the state if re-elected. He said one of his priorities in his second term would be to construct a road linking Igbedi to Kaiama, which would benefit both Bayelsa and Delta states and facilitate the use of the airport.

“Those whose names have been delisted by amendment number one of INEC can no longer sleep. They will continue to have sleepless nights.

“In our second tenure, the other road that will be important to Bayelsa and even the people of Delta State and for the use of our airport will be to connect Igbedi to Kaiama. That will be the next project we will embark upon in our next tenure.”
