Timipre Sylva, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State, says he must come back as governor because Bayelsa State is in a mess.
A former Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, stated this during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.
He said he is coming back with experience which none of the contenders has.
“I am bringing the experience back. I was a governor and a minister. None of them (his opponents) has the experience I am bringing back. Frankly at some point I never thought I would come back as a governor any more. If you go to Bayelsa, you will know why exactly I must come back. The place is in a mess.
Arguing that Governor Douye Diri, his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenger in the election does not have an agenda, Sylva said one of his own agenda is to turn Bayelsa’s water into wealth.
“The governor (Douye Diri) has no agenda at all. One of my agendas is to turn Bayelsa’s water into wealth by creating job opportunities.”
