Sylva in a separate statement by his campaign organisation cautioned Governor Seriake Dickson against castigating President Muhammadu Buhari over the inconclusive election in the state.
Sylva said it was no longer acceptable for Dickson and his aides to engage in daily ritual of insulting the president, the Secretary to the Government of Federation, (SGF), the Military High Command and other senior citizens of the country.
He said Dickson’s recent frequent outbursts on radio and television stations were unwarranted and unbecoming of a governor.
He said: “How can Dickson continue to incite Bayelsa people against the FG, security agencies, INEC and every other officials just because of the Bayelsa governorship election?
“We recall that Governor Dickson told the people during his campaign to mobilise against what he called ‘plots by the presidency to use federal might in favour of the APC’ and charged them to ‘detain and tie down any security man suspecting to be aiding or abetting electoral fraud’.
“These are few of the numerous unguarded statements by Governor Dickson, a man who took an oath to defend the constitution.
“For the avoidance of doubt, however, all the allegations levelled against President Muhammadu Buhari, Secretary to the Government of Federation, Minister of Defence and the security agencies deployed for the election in Bayelsa are false, baseless and figment of the imagination of Governor Dickson and the PDP.
“Nigerians and the world know that President Buhari remains a man of honour and integrity who has not shown any bias in this election being an apostle of transparent, free and fair electoral process.
“Governor Dickson was the chief sponsor of violence at an unprecedented scale in the recent election in all the eight Local Government Areas but he is now using propaganda to paint the APC as a the guilty party.”
