Bayelsa Gubernatorial Poll: Tinubu moves
against spoilers, urges Sylva to contest
The former governor of Lagos State and All
Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has
called on Chief Timipre Sylva to contest the December 5, 2015 Governorship
election in Bayelsa State.
Tinubu also charged Bayelsans to ensure that
Sylva becomes the next governor of the state in view of placing the state on
the right path.
“I want him to contest the governorship
election because of his proven leadership qualities and our belief that he can
bring change to the state” he said.
Tinubu who met Sylva at his Abuja home not
only endorsed him as the party’s consensus candidate for the December 5, 2015
governorship election but commended him for his contributions to the
development of the party in Nigeria, particularly Bayelsa State.
“It is time for Bayelsans to unite and support
a person who can effectively enhance unity, provide opportunities for all and
lead the people in a different direction”
He expressed total and unreserved support for
Sylva’s aspiration to clinch the party’s ticket and governorship seat.
He mandated APC leaders and members in Bayelsa
State to support his choice.
"If you want change, if you're unhappy
with the direction of Bayelsa State, then you must join the governorship race
and change the state for the people”.
Tinubu, who also described Sylva as an agent of
change, is pushing for the former governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre
Sylva, to occupy the governorship position.
