Sylva reiterates commitment to deliver Bayelsans from poverty

Former governor and the leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), in Bayelsa state, Timipre Sylva, has reassured the people of the state of his readiness to wrestle power and deliver the state out of poverty, adding that the current administration in the state has forced poverty on the people despite huge federal allocation.

Sylva, who described the PDP government in the state as a “draconian” system of government, also queried what the Dickson led administration has used the over one trillion naira received from federal government for, adding that no reasonable project can quantify the huge monies.

He made the revelation during his 54th birthday anniversary at the weekend in Honey hills hotels Yenagoa, also disclosing that the state is currently owing over seven hundred million naira, adding that the time to clean the tears of the people is now.
