Former governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre Sylva has emerged the frontline candidate to become the next chairman of All Progressive Congress (APC).

Though other names like former governor of Edo State, Chief John Oyegun, former Foreign Affairs Minister, Chief Tom Ikimi and former National Vice- Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chief Sam Jaja had cropped up, Sylva has been able to secure support of all the major power blocs in the party ahead the June 13 national convention scheduled for Abuja.
