The youths of Agbama in Bayelsa state have revealed plans to drum support for the former governor, Timpreye Sylva on his governorship ambition in the state.
Timipre Sylva
The president of Bayelsa Youths Leaders Movement, Mr Governor Kuku in a statement described the former governor as the best man for the job, The Nation reports.
Kuku said that they believe Sylva has experience in the public and private sectors and that his deep knowledge and understanding of the intricacies of the Federal Government place him at a vantage position to provide desirable leadership for the state.
Lauding the qualities of the former governor, Kuku said that Sylva is a competent administrator and therefore promised to campaign for power shift, adding that governor Seriake Dickson failed to live to expectation.
He said: “Chief Timipre Sylva is a pride to Bayelsa state and Nigeria. He is one with extra-ordinary flames of passion for the development of the less privileged people in the society. He is an icon of democracy, justice, accountability and development.”
Kuku in the statement admonished the traditional rulers and community leaders to encourage Sylva to contest for the governorship position.
Stating further, the youth president said: “Our ultimate goal, no matter where we stand on the political spectrum, is the uplifting of the state and the political, economic, cultural and social well-being of our people. Sylva’s emergence will foster unity and progress in Bayelsa State.”
Throwing support for Kuku’s call, another group, the Niger Delta People’s Movement also came out to urge the people of Bayelsa to take their destiny in their hands by joining the vehicle of change. The group said that if merit were the criterion Sylva is the best man for the job.
The spokesperson of the group, Ibifuro Tatua said: “Sylva will protect the people’s right to sustainable economic development, quality education, job creation, improved healthcare services and poverty alleviation through empowerment programmes.”
Meanwhile, as the December 5 governorship election in state continues to gain momentum, governor Dickson expressed confidence of clinching a second term in office.
