The Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources Chief Timipre Sylva has reacted to a statement from the Bayelsa State Government that he blazingly beach electoral process during governorship and state assembly last Saturday.
A statement by his media assistant, Julius Bokoru noted that statement from the state government is untrue and puerile
The statement read : “The Statement from the Bayelsa state government alleging that the Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, His Excellency Chief Timipre Sylva is negatively influencing the Brass Constituency II House of Assembly elections is grossly untrue and puerile.
“The electioneering process at Brass Constituency II has been stable, safe, free and fair. The people went about freely voting for candidates of their choice according to their conscience and their hearts.
“The state government, instead of remedying its incompetence and lack of acceptance, has unfortunately deployed the tactics it inherited from the Dickson days: impulsive lying, violence and a steady desire to attract plastic sympathy.
“What the Douye Diri government does apart from making life hellish for Bayelsans is that it projects its own anxieties, insecurities and natural unpreparedness to others.
“If there are evidences supporting their adolescent claims, it should be presented to the public and relevant authorities. That is what entities serious about their claims should be doing, not descending into a free fall of lies.
“That statement from a non-existing group by a non-existing Charles Otabor, is untrue and demonic and utterly unworthy of public attention and should be considered another gimmick from a faltering illegitimate government.”⁸
