Friends of the Minister of State Petroleum for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva, have purchased the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) nomination and expression of interest forms, urging him to contest the Bayelsa State governorship election slated for November 11, 2023.
A group of friends stormed the National Secretariat of the ruling APC on Monday to pick the nomination form on behalf of the Minister from the Directorate of Organisation at the APC National Secretariat, Abuja.
Sylva was Bayelsa Governor between 2008 and 2012. He was appointed as Minister of State for Petroleum Resources of Nigeria in 2019. He will be seeking to run for one term of four years.
