APC faction suspends Sylva

The crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress in Bayelsa State has worsened as a faction of the party headed by the state’s Chairman, Chief Tiwei Orunimighe, on Saturday,  suspended its governorship candidate in the 2015 election, Chief Timipre Sylva.

In a statement, Orunimighe said the decision to suspend Sylva, a former governor of the state and the leader of the party in Bayelsa was reached after due consultations with the relevant stakeholders.

Orunimighe described the decision to suspend Sylva as “painful but necessary” following the pending investigations brought to the party against him.

Four other executive members of the party including the Publicity Secretary, Panebi Fortune, were also suspended for conniving with Sylva for allegedly destabilising the party by publishing an illegal statement.

The suspension came just as Orunimighe himself and the Secretary of the party, Mr. Marlin Daniel, were suspended by the executive members of the party in the state n Friday.

Publicity Secretary of the party, Panebi Fortune,  who is among four other persons suspended alongside Sylva as a huge joke, saying Orunimighe and Daniel had no powers to suspend them.
