Diri said Sylva was having sleepless nights, which will continue due to INEC\u2019s action.<\/p>\n

He spoke at Igbedi community, Kolokuma\/Opokuma Local Government Area of the state on Friday.<\/p>\n

Diri insisted that Sylva remained disqualified based on the first amended INEC list.<\/p>\n

He urged the people of Bayelsa State not to waste their votes on a party that is not on the ballot.<\/p>\n

According to Diri: \u201cThose whose names have been delisted by amendment number one of INEC can no longer sleep. They will continue to have sleepless nights.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our second tenure, the other road that will be important to Bayelsa and even the people of Delta State and for the use of our airport will be to connect Igbedi to Kaiama. That will be the next project we will embark upon in our next tenure.\u201d<\/p>\n
