Six aspirants are jostling for the Bayelsa governorship ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC). The primary election is scheduled for Friday (today).

The Bayelsa governorship election is billed for November 11.

Retired Maj.-Gen. A.T. Jubrin, chairman of the party’s Primary Election Committee, stated this while addressing newsmen after a stakeholders meeting on Friday in Yenagoa, Bayelsa.

The contestants include former Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipreye Silva and David Pereworimini Lyon.

Others are Ogbomade Isikima, Professor Maureen Etebu, Festus Daumiebi and Joshua Maciver.

Mr Jubrin said that the committee has put all necessary measures in place to ensure a rancour free exercise.

He said elections will be held in all the 105 wards in the state through option A4.

The chairman said that all members of the party whose names are on the party’s register, would queue behind their preferred aspirants.

Mr Jibrin said the committee had a series of engagements with the officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and the police to seek advice on a peaceful exercise.

Others are, the State Security Services (SSS) and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
