Sylva does not have that<br \/>\nkind of discipline because Bayelsans know him as having ran a profligate<br \/>\nsystem, thereby plunging the state into huge debts to the tune of N432<br \/>\nbillion that the Dickson government has reduced to N90b, making the state<br \/>\nnow as one of the least indebted in the country as opposed to the<br \/>\nunenviable rank of being of the highest during Sylva&#8217;s regime of misrule.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the alleged purchase of PVCs, the PDP said it was another vicious lie<br \/>\nand propaganda of the APC.<\/p>\n<p>The group stated that Governor Dickson from results announced so far by<br \/>\nINEC is leading in 6 out of 7 LGAs declared even with all the federal<br \/>\nmight deployed by APC to rig the election.<\/p>\n<p>Obuebite said the party was confident that Southern Ijaw being a PDP<br \/>\nstronghold come <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1433643175\"><span class=\"aQJ\">January 9<\/span><\/span> will be big win for the PDP that will further<br \/>\nconsolidate its victory and declaration of Dickson as the peoples<br \/>\ngovernor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No amount of propaganda or federal might will save APC from the<br \/>\nhumiliation of defeat come <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1433643176\"><span class=\"aQJ\">January 9<\/span><\/span>. APC members know too well that they<br \/>\nhave lost this election and the propaganda is just a way of hiding the<br \/>\nshame of their defeat having boasted and made so much noise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dAgain, we join Governor Dickson to call on Sylva to honourably concede<br \/>\ndefeat and withdraw from the race. He will do well to withdraw from the<br \/>\nrace now by calling to congratulate Governor Dickson before he suffers<br \/>\nanother round of defeat and humiliation\u201d.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Restoration Campaign Organisation in Bayelsa State, has described as outright lies and false propaganda, claims by the All Progressives Congress (APC) that Governor Henry Seriake&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":42508,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45091","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Southern Ijaw: Sylva &#039;ll be humiliated again - PDP - Pointblank News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/southern-ijaw-sylva-ll-be-humiliated-again-pdp\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Southern Ijaw: Sylva &#039;ll be humiliated again - PDP - Pointblank News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Restoration Campaign Organisation in Bayelsa State, has described as outright lies and false propaganda, claims by the All Progressives Congress (APC) that Governor Henry Seriake&hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/southern-ijaw-sylva-ll-be-humiliated-again-pdp\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Pointblank News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-12-21T12:12:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Timipre-Sylva1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"553\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Our Reporter\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Our Reporter\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/southern-ijaw-sylva-ll-be-humiliated-again-pdp\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/southern-ijaw-sylva-ll-be-humiliated-again-pdp\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Our Reporter\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/#\/schema\/person\/ba61acbe7e8967bcf3f3ba603d9db23c\"},\"headline\":\"Southern Ijaw: Sylva &#8216;ll be humiliated again &#8211;
