The Bayelsa State Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Godspower Keku, on behalf of the State Executive Committee, has asked the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva, to stop the unnecessary vilification of the Supreme Court and the Judiciary, as a fallout of the Apex Court decision on Bayelsa Governorship Review.

The PDP State Scribe said that Sylva and the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, played a critical role in aiding the Peoples Democratic Party to wrest the wrongfully taken mandate from the APC through the bold decisions of the court.

He said that the party commended Sylva and Oshiomhole for making it easy for the PDP to avert a waiting catastrophe by foisting a candidate who never won a primary and handpicking Senator Degi Eremienyon his Coursin as the running mate to David Lyon.

According to him, Sylva propped up David Lyon and Degi as his stooges in furtherance of his ambition to combine the position of minister with that of the Governor of Bayelsa State.

Keku made the comment while reacting to an interview by Chief Sylva on Channels Television who accused the Supreme Court of wrong-doing in the verdict.

He said that with the final verdict of the Supreme Court on the issue of the Bayelsa Governorship, Sylva ought to have apologized for the Nembe massacre of 21 persons, the vandalization of former Gov Henry Seriake Dickson, Gov Douye Diri, residences, the attack on the PDP Secretariat, the Steve Azaiki Library, the judiciary among others rather than casting aspersions on the integrity of the Supreme Court.

He stated also that Sylva should show remorse for the sponsored protests at the residences of Honourable Justice Mary Odilli in Abuja and Port Harcourt.

He said, “Sylva should not blame the Supreme Court and the Judiciary. The fact is that he helped us; his people worked with us to reclaim the mandate wrongfully taken by the All Progressives Congress to avert a disaster.

“He should stop blaming the judiciary, apologize for the massacre of 21 persons in Nembe, and the killings which the Federal Forces backed him to perpetrate against the good people of Bayelsa.

“But We thank him and Oshiomhole for making it easy for us, the PDP and the good people of Bayelsa, to stop the catastrophe he and his party wanted to foist on Bayelsa because of his burning ambition to be both minister and Governor by installing a stooge who never won primaries; by bringing Degi, his cousin and foisting him on David Lyon and the APC.

“He should apologize for the Nembe killings, the attack on my home, Gov Diri’s home, the attack on the High Court, the Azaiki Library, the PDP Secretariat and several other places rather than the immoral assault on the Supreme Court.”

Keku challenged Sylva to explain what he did with over 150 million Dollars he received from oil companies and others for the purpose of the Bayelsa governorship election which he didn’t spent.

He called on the Federal Government to investigate the minister for foisting extreme violence on Bayelsans and Bayelsa since 2015.

He also called on the international community to investigate the minister and impose a visa ban on him for hiding under the influence of the Presidency to perpetrate political terrorism in Bayelsa.

Keku who called for investigation of the minister raised the alarm that the interview he granted was to set the stage for further violence in the state.

He appealed to the youths of the state to ignore the antics of Sylvia who according to him was trading with their futures.
