Bayelsa Governorship Election Updates [Plus Results]

You can hardly have election in some states in Nigeria without bloodshed and Bayelsa is one of such states due to high level proliferation of arms in the hands of, in most cases, jobless drug addicts.

The results are playing out in the state. In the orgy of violence, Paramount Ruler of Peremabiri Community, Progress Neverdie, was also wounded. Medical personnel are doing their best to stabilize him.

It would be recalled that during the first round of election in December, PDP's Seriake Dickson was in the lead with 33,154 votes. He had 105,748 votes while APC's Timipre Sylva, got 72,594 votes.
