Trouble was said to have started when it was discovered by Alaibe and his supporters that accredited delegates from Brass, the LG of his arch-rival, Sylva, were far more than all delegates from the other LGs combined. It was in a bid to challenge what was seen as an anomaly by Alaibe and his supporters that a heated argument ensued resulting in a free- for- all between the opposing camps. In the process, Alaibe and many others sustained injuries.
To demonstrate his anger and disapproval of the electoral process, Alaibe was also said to have stormed out of the venue with his supporters in protest. Further investigation showed that many of those who participated in the fracas were ordinarily not supposed to attend the primary because they were not delegates but came as organised party thugs and militants on both sides to drum support for their respective choice of aspirants.
The bloody violence in which all manner of weapons were freely used, including broken bottles, cutlasses, knives and charms could have led to loss of lives except for the quick intervention of the police and other law enforcement agencies on ground. Even as the police used tear gas to repel elements seen as hired thugs and militants, a number of the victims loyal to Alaibe complained bitterly that they were stabbed by Sylva’s men.
All efforts by the Adams Oshiomhole committee responsible for the conduct of the primary election to save the day proved abortive as Alaibe, in company of his close associates, left the venue in obvious protest of the situation. Many of his supporters were also seen joining him in their mass exit from the Samson Siasia stadium venue.
Alaibe was said to be getting ready to address a press conference on the issue later today. Meanwhile, findings also indicated that some of the governorship aspirants have stepped down for the former governor, Timipre Sylva. As at the time of filing this report, Sylva was leading in the number of votes cast and likely to emerge winner.

The present day Nigeria can now be likened to Hobbesian state of nature, where the life of man is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short. #VoteNotFightElectionNoBeWar

APC! Kwenu! Same goes to all their hungry supporters on dis blog. Razz fools!
If truly APC is for change, then they need to be very transparent in all areas of their life. They need to give us full report of what really happened.
Starting with the accreditation list and the accreditation done at the venue of the poll.
What is the number of those that are eligible to vote? Were they duly accredited? Why the protest by an aspirant? Why was the effort made to settle it amicably?
What is the position now?
How will such occurrence be prevented in future.
May God save the soul of our beloved country Nigeria. Toks

APC!! Change!! Ndi ara.
Kai! Them for tear that man called adams oshiomhole head. e for make me happy.
Fire on the mountain for APC. After all, why should they use that running mouth Oshiomole for this. Anyway killing themselves in Bayelsa state is a mistake because its a PDP state in and out.
I wonder if Nigerian politicians will ever leave the era of "do or die politics". This is a clear indication that a high percentage of our politicians don't have the citizens interest at heart.

Why should he abandon his dream?
Timi Alaibe is eligible to contest for the gubernatorial election, all we need is a level playing ground for the aspirants.
It is well....

Na the Amadioha dey worry you for head abi?Tout like you.
Why do you lie. I was there and this news is bullshit. Linda nawa for you. Chai. How much they pay you?
Anon hate on willy all u can, she said the truth. APC party of armed robbers, boko haram and touts. Suck on it!
Sylva will never smell that sit again
Nigeria is never without comical displays. Timi Alaibe left the PDP after casting aspersions on it for its "anti-democratic tendencies" and "lack of a fair playing ground". He defected to the APC because, according to him, it offered a "fair playing ground". He just got a "fair playing ground"! All through his 16yrs in the PDP, he was never assaulted not to talk of being injured. Oshiomhole would still come out with one of his crazy allegations against Okonjo-Iweala just to divert attention from this Aruu he superitended at the Siasia stadium.
We are watching
Nawa for APC ooo
God help dem sha
Truth be told no need to bring out the both of them, indeed they hv shown themselves as tyrants. The both of them should be disqualified. Let Dickson run unoppose cox bayelsa is a PDP state and God has scattered the enemies of the state in the Name of APC. This is a warning sign and if APC continue they will be destroyed. Let there ship sink now or face heavenly destruction
True colours..
Thunder fire your anus? Is APC not a party of touts!
Foolish buhari worshipper
