A group known as; ‘Youths Vanguard for Real Change’ within the Bayelsa state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has broken the jinks alleging the former governor and Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva knew about the forged documents of David Lyon’s running mate, Biobarakumo Degi but he still proceed.
A spokesman for the group, Johnson Dume told newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday that the party and Sylva are to be held responsible for the nullification of APC and Lyon’s victory in Bayelsa State.
Dume said; “We have it on good authority that Sylva knew about Degi’s forged documents, yet he went ahead to field him so that APC might lose.”
Dume while condemning the actions of some suspected thugs who besieged the Abuja home of the lead judge that delivered the judgment, Justice Mary Odili.
“Why blame Justice Mary Odili? What is her role in our party’s screening and primaries? Is she the one who asked us to field a candidate with fake certificates? He queried.
The spokesman for the group went further to warn; “We should be careful not to worsen an already bad situation. People are beginning to see APC as a party that lacks due process and a political group of fraudsters.“
