The National Leadership of the All Progressive Congress(APC) will begin screening of the Parties Governorship Aspirants in Bayelsa,ahead of the December 5th Governorship Election in the state.
As of yesterday,the leader of the party in Bayelsa State Chief Timipre Sylva submitted his nomination/expression of interest form at the parties National Secretariate.
Recall that last week Chief Timi Alaibe,Chief Diekivie Bovie Ikiogha and not fewer than 11 other aspirants justling for the APC ticket submitted their forms at the parties National Secretariat in Abuja.
There has been speculation in some quarters that Chief Timipre Sylva may not pick up the parties Nomination following his failure to handing an amnesty assignment the party leadership sent him.
A Top member of the Parties National Working committee who spoke with PUO REPORTS over the development said although Chief Sylva has invested much in the party,opinion polls coming in from Bayelsa is not favorable to him,following his poor performance during his first tenure.
The Party is said to be shopping for a strongman who can contend with the current governor of Bayelsa State who may likely be the PDP’s candidate for the december Poll.
The screening of aspirants starts today and ends on thursday this week
