Bayelsa Governorship Poll: APC Chiefs Warn Party Over Timipre Sylva’s Candidature, Says It Will Jeopardise ChancesAccording to some APC chieftains, the current political configuration in the state does not support a Sylva's candidature, particularly the rotation arrangement.
In a petition to the national leadership, the elders warn against monetising the party's governorship ticket. "Second, the people of Bayelsa will reject him because they know him. When he was Governor between 2007 and 2012, he showed dictatorial arrogance, ran government according to his private whims and caprice and ultimately failed to develop the state. As a minister, he also failed to attract visible and verifiable development to the State.
"By the political history of the State, Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha from the Central Senatorial District became the first Executive Governor in 1999 and ruled till 2005 when he was removed. His Deputy Governor, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan from the East Senatorial District took over staying on till 2007 when he was elevated to the position of Vice-President. Then, Chief Timipre Sylva also from the same East Senatorial District succeeded Jonathan as the Governor, he served for five years.
"After President Buhari was inaugurated in 2015, Sen. Heineken Lokpobiri from Bayelsa West Senatorial District was appointed Minister, Prof. Nelson Brambayefa from the same Senatorial District with Sen.Lokpobiri was also appointed, acting Managing Director of Niger Delta Development Commission while Chief Timipre Sylva from the East was appointed Chairman, Oil and Gas Free Trade Zone.
The man that won the last time should be given the right of first refusal. Lyon will win easily!
