The All Progressives Congress (APC) Bayelsa state governorship candidate for the Nov 11th election and the immediate past minister of state for petroleum resources, Chief Timpere Sylva, has implored Bayelsans to vote for APC, to avoid the state remaining in opposition, saying “the state will benefit maximally from the ruling party.”
Sylva stated this while addressing party supporters after his emergence as the flag bearer of the party on the 14 – 15 April 2023.
According to him, Bayelsa has remained too long in opposition and that has eluded the state from benefitting from the central government.
“To link with the federal government is pertinent, than being in opposition, a lot which the state would have benefitted had eluded us”
He said despite all the monies the state has being receiving from the federal government, there is no commensurate evidence to show, and his government would bring a lot of change to the state.
He said that his government would among other things stabilize power and restore the Peace Park, an international tourism centre he established.
“We will also stabilize power and we are back again and want partner to bring development and progress to the state,” he said.
He said the state has the wherewithal to produce light with abundance of gas in the state, adding with light industries and investors would be attracted to state and jobs will be created for the teeming unemployed youths, describing the prosperity government as voodoo.
“One of the best incompetent way to produce jobs to be give every employment, unsustainably, how many job can you give to Bayelsans unsustainably. The only panacea to unemployment is to provide sustainable job is to establish industries”
“My government will also tackle frontally the flooding problem with the best internationally approved standard”
