Bayelsa State governor, Duoye Diri has been taken to the cleaners by the All Progressives Congress (APC) guber candidate in Bayelsa State, Timipre Sylva.

Sylva in a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media and Public Affairs, Julius Bokoru said:

“Sylva’s democratic records are there for all to see. He is no cynic, nor is he one to seek victory or political success through illegitimate means. Sylva’s sincerity, patriotism and passion for progress have been his spur in what has now become a stellar journey of service.”

“Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila is a true party man and a true friend and ally of Chief Sylva. This recent attempt at sowing seeds of discord between Sylva and the Chief of Staff to the President is an exercise in futility.”

“Sylva is also not the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), it is therefore not his place to move INEC staff around the country. That aspect of the publication is also another lie the very unpopular Bayelsa State Government presently led by Senator Douye Diri.”

“The ongoing blitzkrieg of propaganda against Sylva is a symptom of the current administration’s cluelessness and edginess. It has switched to survival mode by lying, scheming, intimidating and liquidating the state treasury in managing its sweeping rejections by the people.”

“November 11 is not just an election, but liberation of Bayelsans from the concentration camp of such a great state has been reduced to. Sylva urges Bayelsans to remain tall and strong, steadfast and hopeful as we are edging closer to a bright, new day.”
