Youth Group Predicts Timipre Sylva’s Victory in Bayelsa Governorship Election

A youth organization known as the Bayelsa New Generation Leaders (BNGL) has expressed strong confidence in the success of Timipre Sylva, the former Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, in the upcoming gubernatorial election scheduled for November 11 in Bayelsa State.

The Director-General of the BNGL, Bodmas Kemepadei, conveyed this optimism over the weekend during the inauguration of grassroots coordinators for the All Progressives Congress (APC) across the state’s local government areas.

Kemepadei emphasized that the BNGL, a socio-political group primarily composed of youths from various communities, wards, and local government areas in the state, firmly believes in Timipre Sylva’s victory as the APC gubernatorial candidate for the forthcoming election.

This conviction, he explained, has been strengthened through extensive consultations and interactions with youths and other stakeholders who oversee the community structures with the potential to influence grassroots votes.

Kemepadei pointed out that many structures of opposing parties at the ward levels have shifted their support to the APC.

He also noted that the opposition’s aspirations to control Yenagoa Local Government Area, which appeared to be their last hope, were rapidly fading as their structures faced internal challenges.

Furthermore, Kemepadei expressed his belief that Sylva, if elected, would continue building upon the achievements of previous administrations, as governance is an ongoing process. He urged voters not to be swayed by token appointments or enticing rhetoric from the opposition.

Kemepadei advised the appointed coordinators at the local government level to establish effective communication channels with the electorate within their respective wards.

In response, Comrade Woyingimiebi Uge, the coordinator for Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area, commended the Director-General for initiating the formation of grassroots coordinators and affirmed their dedication to championing Sylva/MacIver’s candidacy at the grassroots level.
