The primary election has elicited much controversy as it is claimed that Sylva emerged winner through a ‘kangaroo’ arrangement.The election was said to be marred by violence which resulted in more
 than 15 aspirants scampering for safety as well as members of the 
election committee headed by the Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, 
being held hostage in the arena.The Chairman, All Progressives Congress, Bayelsa State chapter, Chief
 Tiwei Orunimighe, has said the party in the state stands by the victory
 of former governor and leader of the party, Chief Timipre Sylva, at the
 governorship primary.The Chairman, All Progressives Congress, Bayelsa State chapter, Chief
 Tiwei Orunimighe, has said the party in the state stands by the victory
 of former governor and leader of the party, Chief Timipre Sylva, at the
 governorship primary.Oshiomhole has since claimed that Sylva’s thugs held him hostage in 
an attempt to force him to conduct the primary in the midst of violence.<br />

The Edo State Governor was said to be rescued by the combined forces 
of the military and operatives of the Department of State Security on 
the orders of the Chief of Defence Staff.But
 Orunimighe, who insisted that the primary had been won and lost, said 
the rumour of cancellation of the election was baseless and unfounded.“I want to believe that people who made statements from the national 
secretariat did not have clearance with him. As a state chairman, I am 
aware that the rumour of cancellation came even when we were on the 
election ground. It was all over the social media. I think it was made 
by one of their publicists. After that Odigie-Oyegun directed that 
nobody should make any statement without obtaining clearance from him.He said, “As a chairman of Bayelsa APC, I am not aware of any 
cancellation of the primary. With all due respect to the National 
Chairman of our party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, he said nobody should 
make an announcement except they cleared with him.“The national chairman is a man who knows his onions. Having set up 
an election panel, he knows the next thing is to wait for the outcome or
 report of the committee set up to administer the primary. Maybe they 
will set up an appeal committee. We are expecting that by Monday or 
Tuesday (today). So, I believe the cancellation rumour does not stand.“For now, election has been held and I think that is how it stands. Chief Timipre Sylva won the primary conducted last Tuesday.”
The chairman said he believed that some aspirants might might be 
aggrieved, adding that the party was working towards harmonising their 
grieviances ahead of the December 5 governorship poll.<br />

He exonerated himself of being biased during the primary, stressing that in a contest of that nature, tongues were bound to wag.He stated, “I do not know who accused us. We are not biased. As a 
chairman, I believe that I have managed the party to the best of my 
ability. When it came to the period of voting, I was also a delegate.

“As at 2012, we were poised to celebrate in 2013 one year of uninterrupted power supply in Yenogoa city. I had installed turbines and there was a turbine that was 93 per cent complete when I was ousted. “The outgoing government refused to commission it because they did not want me to take credit for it.<br />
<br />
Former Bayelsa state governor, Timipre Sylva, has accused incumbent, Governor Seriake Dickson of abandoning all the projects he initiated when he was the governor of the oil-rich state in 2012.
Sylva stated this while addressing newsmen after submitting his nomination and expression of interest forms at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.<br />
<br />
 “There are a lot of projects that I embarked upon which were deliberately abandoned on the altar of politics,” he said.

Sylva also lamented the youth restiveness in the state, saying “the era of kidnapping has returned. I experienced it in 2013 when my old uncle of 87 was kidnapped and killed. There is insecurity in the water ways of Bayelsa.” <br />
