Yenagoa—A former Chairman of Conference of Nigerian Political Parties, CNPP, in Bayelsa State, Mr Sunday Frank-Oputu, weekend, described as false, claims that those involved in the leadership crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state, have the mandate of the former governor, Chief Timipre Sylva.

Frank-Oputu, a close friend to the former governor, said though those involved in the leadership tussle battle over the structure and leadership of the Interim Committee of APC served under the administration of Sylva, their actions and decisions to open parallel APC secretariat was a nullity as Sylva has not openly and officially applied for the membership of APC in the state.
