According to information sourced from the Punch the APGA candidate stated at the declaration of his support for the APC flag bearer that ‘’ , “My withdrawal is not that I am leaving APGA entirely. I want a situation where we can achieve a new Bayelsa and I believe that the APC can do it.

“My supporting the APC is not that I do not have followers in APGA but my reason is that I want to support my brother, Timpre Sylva, because this is the time to face the reality in Bayelsa politics.

“I must say that I am in love with the APC. So, I am using this opportunity to call on our people to vote for the real change and for good governance.

“Of course, I am not the only candidate defecting, I know them all but I am not in the right position to mention them for publication. Right now, out of the 20 political parties in the race, about 10 have stepped down.”
