SYLVA’S APC A REJECT TO BAYELSANS







...A SINKING PARTY OF SICK, CONFUSED MINDS

The Bayelsa State Government has said that the All Progressives Congress under the leadership òf Former Governor, Chief Timipre Sylva, is a rejected party of sick, confused and confusing minds on a mission to attempt creativity with mischief.

The State Commissioner for Information, Hon. Daniel Iworiso Markson, said in a statement on Thursday that the APC had become a leprous organization that has suffered the most debilitating and humiliating defections in recent history in the Nigerian politics.

Iworiso Markson who made the comment while reacting to a statement by the State Publicity Secretary òf APC in Bayelsa, Mr Ola Doifie, said that the APC was now desperate to cling unto lies and imagined stories as a lifeline after losing most of its members to the visionary leadership of the PDP led Restoration Government òf the Honourable Henry Seriake Dickson.

The Government’s Spokesman said that it would only take a band of unconscionable political desperadoes to criticize the well conceptualized and effectively executed Bayelsa International Airport.

He said that the APC and its remnants of political bandits should be ashamed of their record of failure in Bayelsa and should atone for their sins by towing the path of their compatriots who left the party for the PDP.

Iworiso-Markson said that the leader of the APC in Bayelsa, Sylva, failed woefully in the attempt to give Bayelsa and her people a desperately needed International Airport between 2007 and 2011 in spite of the huge resources at his disposal.

He stressed that Sylva used what should have been a laudable idea of an airport project to milk the state and siphoned billions of Naira into private pockets.

The commissioner said that the 44 houses of Sylva for which he was probed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission were screaming testimonial of the kleptocracy unleashed on Bayelsa by the APC and its thieving maniacs.

The Commissioner challenged the APC Spokesman, an aide of Sylva, to tell Bayelsans and Nigerians what his master did with N300 billion Agric Loan from the World Bank.

He lamented that Sylvia’s APC fritted away N3 billion MDG Funds made available to his administration, known in Bayelsa as the era of the locust, in addition foisting a bond obligation of N125 billion which the current administration has drastically reduced through prudent management of available resources in an era of crushing recession.

He added that Bayelsa received N708,896,925 billion allocation from the Federation Account apart from N22,02 billion IGR without any notable execution of projects in the state.

He said that the poverty of imagination, the sterility òf ideas,, and the rage of kleptocracy that marked the Sylvia’s administration was shown by the allocation of N68 billion to capital expenditure out of N780,915,925 billion allocation to the state.

Iworiso-Markson said that drawing a comparison between Sylva and Governor Henry Seriake Dickson was not different from a failed attempt to cloth the Lord Jesus Christ in the odious colors and manners of Satan.

According to him, Governor Dickson Legacy in Bayelsa are self- announcing as demonstrated by the array of big ticket projects across the state.

He said that the Restoration Administration under the leadership òf Hon. Dickson had broken new grounds in project execution which has put Bayelsa ahead of most of the states in Nigeria.

He listed major road projects linking the three Senatorial districts of the State, the super projects in the health sector, the emergence of new state-owned universities, new town development, the successful implementation of the best free education policy in the country, the introduction of new boarding schools with 10,000 Bayelsa kids on scholarship as among the innumerable exploits of the Restoration Government.

He said, “The Bayelsans State Government found it pertinent to react to the raving inanities of goons Chief Timipre Sylva and his delirious band of political rejects just to set the records straight.

“Timipre Sylva and the APC once told Bayelsans that the Nembe Road had no economic value but he uses that road to his community anytime the diaspora politician visits Bayelsa.

“The same clique of politicians bereft of ideas are saying the Bayelsa Airport does not have economic viable in their despermation to criticize and condemn anything PDP.

“The fact is that the APC, a sinking party of sick, confused and confusing minds, lack the capacity to see tomorrow as the vision of an international airport in Bayelsa is an impossibility to minds in custody of leadership aridity.

“Where Sylva and the APC see impossibilities, the Restoration Government led by Governor Dickson has translated vision into reality.”

“The APC and Sylva should concern themselves with the suspended albatross of corruption charges for the scandal 44 buildings Sylva built with Bayelsa money, the moral burden of the waste of N780 billion and the foisting of a huge debt burden of N125 billion on Bayelsa among others.

“The fact is that APC in Bayelsa comprises Sylva, Lokpobiri, and Sylva’s Aide òf many years, now Publicity Secretary, Ola Doifie. Sylva is a stranded sailor, who has been abandoned by his lieutenants in a raging political ocean.

“If anybody is to fear, Sylva should await the verdict of justice. His moment in the court of justice shall surely come. For now, his strongest defense against corruption charges is his membership of the APC,

“Creating a non existent insecurity in Bayelsa will provide no escape route for the a day of doom that draws closer with each clicking second.”

 The sad occurrence of the collapse of a 21 storey building in Lagos was a monumental disaster. Certainly the loss of more than 20 lives up to-date is a painful human tragedy. All attention must be focussed on what happened, why it happened and how can future occurrences be prevented all together!. Governor Babajide Sanwoolu, as usual of him, immediately rose to the occasion. Cut short his schedule official engagement in Rome and went to the venue straight from the airport.
