Bayelsa Governorship Primary Election Latest: PDP Governors Meet President Jonathan Over Timipre Sylva
Eight state governors of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) met on Tuesday with President Goodluck Jonathan in a last bid to restore the party’s Bayelsa State gubernatorial ticket to incumbent Governor, Timipre Sylva.
It was obvious that their efforts yielded little results as they left disappointed. Sylva, who emerged first from the meeting, which took place at the First Lady’s Wing of the Presidential Villa, declined to speak to journalists when approached, referring them to the chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, Rotimi Amaechi, of Rivers State.
“My chairman (Amaechi) will speak to you,” he said. “He is the only one authorised to talk to you.” However, Rotimi also declined to answer and referred inquisitive journalists to his Jigawa State counterpart, Sule Lamido, for answers. State House sources, however, confirmed that the governors were unable to secure the president’s support.
