Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant in Bayelsa State, Timi Alaibe has congratulated former Governor Timipre Sylva of Bayelsa State over his ministerial appointment.

He said; “I received with delight the news of the nomination of Chief Timipre Sylva by the President and his subsequent screening by the Senate for appointment as Minister of the Federal Republic.”

“My joy stems from the fact that for a long time, Bayelsa people have been deprived of effective representation at the level of senior ministerial appointment.”

“Knowing full well that Chief Sylva has been a loyal party man in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), it is therefore taken for granted that he would be fully rewarded with appointment to a ministry and at a level that would enable him empower his people.”

“It is my belief that no matter what portfolio is assigned Chief Timipre Sylva, he would deliver. Having governed Bayelsa State for four years, he would employ that experience to deliver on his party’s promises under the right atmosphere.”

“I therefore congratulate Chief Sylva on his anticipated appointment and swearing-in by the President having already scaled the Senate screening.”

“I congratulate the people of Bayelsa State for this opportunity granted them by the President for representation in the Federal Executive Council. Congratulations.”
