Governor Diri’s antics to whip up sentiments is dead on arrival – APC

The Bayelsa All Progressives Congress Gubernatorial Campaign Council hereby express with dismay a statement credited to the Governor of Bayelsa State saying that our Governorship Candidate and immediate past Minister of State for Petroleum Resources Chief Timipre Sylva do not mean well for two distinguished leaders of the state from Ekeremor Local Government, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri and Rt. Honorable Peremobowei Ebebi.

We condemn this line of thought expressed publicly by the Governor of the state as false, misleading which is also capable of fanning the embers of discord and incite violence.

It is glaring that the overwhelming support and acceptance for our Governorship Candidate Chief Timipre Sylva as the next Governor of Bayelsa State come February 14, 2024 by our dear Bayelsans is causing the Governor and his party sleepless nights hence the resort to hate speech, propaganda and mudslinging.

Innovation as well as Ideas for sustainable development for the Glory of All Lands forms the fulcrum for our Renewed Hope for Bayelsa Agenda and as we criss cross communities in the state as part of campaign activities, we enumerate steps to achieve our ideas for the good of the state and our dear Bayelsans have decided to look the way of the All Progressives Congress and Chief Timipre Sylva/Great Joshua Maciver thus no amount of propaganda will deter bayelsans from this lofty objective.

The Governor should rather explain to Bayelsans the reason why 89 out of every 100 bayelsan is multi dimensionally poor despite the huge financial resources accrued to the state.

We remain resolute in our quest to make Bayelsa great again with Chief Timipre Sylva at the saddle. Bayelsans are wiser now. We will win.
