current governor of Bayelsa state, Timipre Sylva, from the line up of
People's Democratic Party (PDP) candidates for the upcoming governorship

statement jointly signed by the former deputy governor of Ekiti state,
Mrs Abiodun Olujimi and Alhaji Abba Anas Adamu stated that only the
three candidates are eligible to contest the governorship elections in
the state, leaving out Timipre Sylvia who was reportedly removed for
operating foreign accounts and Silverbird TV owner , Ben Bruce, who the
panel claimed had dual citizenship.
