The governorship candidate of All
Progressives Congress in Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre Sylva, has dissociated
himself from statements falsely credited to him in a strange report purporting
differences between him and President Muhammadu Buhari. The report debuted this
Monday, and is being circulated from a certain new media channel.
In a statement released Monday night by
his Media Adviser, Mr. Doifie Buokoribo, Sylva said he did not grant such
interview to any news medium and never made the comments attributed to him by
the strange “news” outlet.
The statement said, “Sylva distances
himself from the falsehood being vended by the authors of the strange report.
He has neither granted such interview to any news medium nor made the comments
attributed to him either privately or publicly.
“Sylva holds President Muhammadu Buhari
in high esteem, and he is on the same page with his party, APC, in his bid to
become the next governor of Bayelsa State, come 14 February 2016. The party has
given him the highest support in the governorship contest and has continued to
work closely with him in the final push to overcome the few tenuous and
fleeting obstacles being erected by enemies of Bayelsa State on the people’s
path to freedom.
“The same elements that authored this
outlandish report were the people who only recently alleged that some serving
ministers were plotting to rig election for Sylva. Their anxiety and confusion
are understandable, considering their imminent fall from power. But they
must understand that there is a limit to propaganda, and that election is not
won the basis of propaganda, as the recent presidential election in the country
has shown. Propaganda cannot fetch them the governorship of Bayelsa State.
“Buhari overcome a similar propaganda
as the one being sown about Sylva. Sylva, too, will soon overcome. We will win,
by the grace of God.”
