Timipre Sylva, governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa, has asked a federal high court in Abuja to disregard claims that he has served two terms as governor of the state.
Sylva’s defence is contained in a counter affidavit he deposed and filed through Adelani Ajibade, his lawyer.
The affidavit was in response to a suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/821/2023, filed by Demesuoyefa Kolomo, a member of the APC.
Kolomo wants the court to order the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to delete Sylva’s name from the list of candidates contesting the governorship poll in Bayelsa on November 11.
