For their backyard

Blood of silverbird.

Wonderful.

I suspect GEJ has a hand in this

Let him go and represent his actual constituency, twitter

Bayelsa people needs a man of the people to represent them.

Imagine, to even think some people were already considering the man for higher post because of his smooth talk talk.

People were already saying he'll make a fine Vice President, President, etc

APC!!! Next level

Wonderful.

That is Jonathans senatorial district

All former PDP presidents are now ruled by APC senators

Is our God not wonderful

This is a big slap on Ben Murray Bruce face. He was rejected by PDP delegates and then the people voted for an APC senator to replace with. So much for common sense.

Strong foothold in the south south for APC. Did anyone ever thought of APC winning Murray Bruce constituency either he ran or not ?

@the bold, really? I didn't know o

I really think he ed this guy to win. I heard he wanted someone else but Dickson insisted so he switched to the APC guy. I didn't know it was this senatorial zone

That albino of a man is a bad representation in Bayelsa I think he saw this coming that is why he refused to contest.

Rejected by delegates how? Didnt he win the primary?

A very good spread for APC this time. But something tells me the might end up in the PDP eventually. The Governorship sit too seems to be looking good for Sylva

Hip hip hip, hurray!!!

He did not.

Misinformation. Ben Bruce never contested the primaries.

Read with comprehension. He never said Bruce contested

From my understanding, there is a rotational agreement in his senatorial zone that doesn't allow anyone from a constituency to go for more than one term.

You are right. From my understanding, there is a rotational agreement in his senatorial zone that doesn't allow anyone from a constituency to go for more than one term.

You don't need to school him. So many of them are grossly ignorant here.

seunmsg:

So on which party platform did he contest?

Exactly.

Guzel:

He said Bruce was rejected by the delegates. Is that not primaries he's referring to?

Oh, so he was not even PDP's candidate. So who contested as PDP'S candidate?

Is the person that unpopular? Or let me rephrase and say, is the APC candidate that popular?

agabusta:

He didn’t contest.
