Bayelsa Election: disqualification judgment is against natural justice, it will not stand – Sylva

…Promises to tackle flooding, complete senatorial road 

The Bayelsa All Progressives Congress governorship candidate Timipre Sylva has described his disqualification by the Federal High Court Abuja as a “judgement that will not stand because it’s against natural justice”.

He said the court matter is an indication that some persons are afraid of his rising profile and candidature ahead of the governorship polls.

Sylva, who spoke for the first time after the court ruling while campaigning in Aghoro in Ekeremor Local Government Area, on Wednesday 11th of October 2023, urged the people not to be dismayed with the ruling but be prepared to come out en-masse on November 11 to cast their vote for APC.

The former governor promised to complete the Bayelsa West Senatorial Road and take it to Agge Community, adding that he will resolve the non recognition of the paramount ruler of the oil rich community and make life easier  for the people.

His words: “Some people are afraid of the election, they are panicking, so they went and procure some jankara judgement. We want to assure you that that judgement will not stand because it is against natural justice. So just carry on, no worries at all just come out and vote for us and assure you that the lives of the people of this community will never be the same again.

“I know the problem of non recognition of the traditional ruler of Aghoro, that is the problem I almost resolved before I left office, this time I am coming back to resolve it permanently.

“I have also promised that since the Senatorial road has gotten to Ekeremor Town, we will continue that road from where it has stopped and take it to Agge. Every government will do something, I did that road and stopped somewhere, Seriake Dickson took it to Ekeremor and now I am going to take it to Agge Community.

“The combination of myself and Joshua Maciver is what is good for you, so on November 11, make sure that you vote for me and the APC.”

Sylva, who also took his campaign train to Peretorugbene, Ndoro and other riverine communities in Ekeremor Local Government Area, promised to tackle the perennial flooding and erosion faced by the state, said he has the solution to flood and erosion.

He said: “Now we are going to do greater things , I am happy that former Governor Seriake Dickson has brought the road to Ekeremor, unfortunately it has stopped there but I want to assure you that when we come in we will take the road to all the way to Agge . I have also promised the paramount ruler that we are going to operationalise the health centre in Peretorugbene, we are going to ensure that you have constant electricity and water

“We know of the problems of flooding, it is not peculiar to Peretorugbene alone but the entire Bayelsa State, the problem of flooding and erosion, I have the solution ayd I am the solution to the problem of flood and erosion.

“I tried to make life easier and better for the people when I was the governor, this time we are going to do bigger things.I always say that the greatest resource of any community or state is the human beings, we must develop and empower them particularly the women. We have plans for you, we will develop agriculture.

“Diri cannot discuss these things I am talking about, he doesn’t have a clue because he lacks experience, he spent a few days in the Senate that is all, before that the highest position he has had was a principal Secretary and before then he was a classroom teacher so where do you expect him to have the experience? But I have the experience and I will bring my wealth of experience to bear on the development of our people and Bayelsa State.”
