Sylva’s Suspension: South-south APC Set Up C”ttee To Investigates Crisis

By Chris Suleiman, Abuja

The lingering crisis rocking the Bayelsa State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has attracted the attention of the Zonal leadership of the party as the South-South zone of the party set up committee to investigate the crisis.

In a statement issued by the National Vice Chairman, South-South of the party, Prince Hillard Eta who described the  development in the Bayelsa State chapter as disheartening at a time that the party should be cohesively charting ways of successfully prosecuting the election petition tribunal case concerning the recently held gubernatorial election in which Seriake Dickson supposedly won is even more saddening.

The zonal Vice Chairman declared that,”the zonal organ has directed a committee to examine the remote and immediate causes of the rift and when the committee submits its finding, we shall take appropriate measures to reconcile the different interests. In the spirit of change, let there be peace

He added that “As the chairman of the party in the zone, I am particularly miffed by the state of affairs in Bayelsa APC and I publicly exhort the aggrieved parties to sheath their swords.

“Going by the provisions of Article 21 of the amended constitution of our party, the suspensions are null and void and done in bad faith. In the said article, our constitution lucidly outline the steps to be diligently followed for a party member or executive to be suspended.

“In the light of the above, the suspensions going on in Bayelsa as far as the party is concerned are entirely null and void. In the interest of the entire party and those immediately concerned, the state chapter of the party should revert to the status quo ante.
