Seriake Dickson Rejects Bayelsa State Lawmakers Pension Bill

Chief Timipre Sylva, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for Bayelsa State, has refuted the victory of Governor Seriake Dickson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the just concluded governorship rerun poll in the state .

He also disclosed that the APC has decided to seek redress before the Election Petitions Tribunal.

Sylva, who stated this while addressing journalists yesterday in Yenagoa, said the INEC and the PDP collude to deny him and the APC victory at the poll.

He also said materials were not delivered to certain areas on time, that the election process was being frustrated, PDP made use of  rigging machines amongst other complaints.

Sylva said the INEC violated the law, on the alleged failure by the INEC to declare the rerun poll inconclusive due to the noticeable differences between the number of cancelled votes of 53,000 and the lead secured by Governor Dickson of PDP at 46,000.
