November 11 governorship poll: Bayelsa APC has lost campaign ideas- Diri’s aide. •••Upbeats of principal’s victory



Special Assistant on media to the Bayelsa State Governor, Mr. John Domkpee, has backed his principal, Governor Douye Diri, to retain his seat as the State governor with ease in the November 11 governorship election.


This, he said, is because the All Progressives Congress(APC)  Standard bearer, Chief Timipre Sylva, does not stand a chance against his principal in the forthcoming election.

Mr Domkpee, in an interview, maintained that the Bayelsa State APC has lost campaign ideas, stating that Bayelsans are well informed to know who is the better candidate between Governor Diri and the former minister of State for Petroleum Resources.

“The fact that Bayelsa APC members are asking eligible Bayelsans to vote for Chief Timipre Sylva in the November 11 election to align with the center shows the party doesn’t have tangible things to campaign with. 

“Bayelsans are informed and wise enough to know that Sylva who could not attract significant projects to the state as minister of state in the all-important petroleum ministry cannot produce developmental magic in the future,” the aide said.

When asked if Bayelsans need to align with the central government, he averred that Governor Diri is already performing “above par” and therefore does not need an APC governor in the state to align with the central government.

“The Miracle Governor is a peaceful man with impeccable character and good track records, so even as a PDP Governor he will have no issues with the Federal Government,” he said.
