PDP Dumps Ben Bruce As Governorship Aspirant in Bayelsa State !

Timipre Sylva, the incumbent governor of Bayelsa state chances of contesting the 2012 gubernatorial election, under the aegis of the People Democratic Party (PDP), has been foreclosed.

Embattled governor Timipe Sylva name was conspicuously missing from the list of aspirants approved by the Gubernatorial Screening Committee of the PDP to contest the Bayelsa state governorship elections. According to a statement issued by the screening committee, the approved candidates include, Youpele Kalango, Christopher Enai and Henry Seriake Dickson.

Ben Bruce was disapproved because he holds dual citizenship. While Timipre Sylva, whose loyalty to the party was suspect, was rejected for threatening the life of the president and his wife. He was also alleged to have operated several foreign bank accounts. Timi Alaibe`s request for a waiver was rejected, he is said to have appealed the decision.

That's good 4 Timypre Silva, as 4 Ben Murray Bruce I dnt know what he is still looking for abi na "national cake" him wan take him share from? With his kind of wealth and contacts within and outside d country,he doesn't need to be a state governor to make an impact in d development of his home state(Bayelsa) or nigeria as a whole. Hweva,he can text his popularity be joining anoda
party 4d gubernetorial elections but he shd rememba MKO's experience in june 12 1993. Though I wld hv prefered him or Timipre re as governor to see if he can make d difference....

@Daniel Edobor....Ben Bruce is a full cake himself. He certainly cannot be after the state government's money. Ben Bruce will bring a very rapid transformation to Bayelsa state and attract investment to the state.
