Bayelsa Rescue Movement (BRM) has thrown its weight behind his governorship ambition of Timipriye Sylva.
The Opu Nembe chapter of BRM in a statement signed by the trio of Chairman, Chief (Dr) A.J Ameri; co-coordinator, Chief Y.D Theo- Iruo, and secretary, Chief K.M Degi, commended Sylva for being instrumental to the establishment of the Federal University of Agriculture, Bassambiri in the State.
The group, which said it has unreserved appreciation and commendation for Sylva, also commended former President Muhammadu Buhari and immediate-past Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, for the approval of the Federal University of Agriculture, Bassambiri.
BRM equally commended the effort of the incumbent President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for allowing the “candle light pitched in our kingdom by his predecessor.”
“We, as well, express our deep appreciation to the Federal Government for appointing our own son of the soil, a renowned Professor of Agriculture, Professor Reginald Inodu Keremah as the pioneer Vice Chancellor through the instrumentality of Chief Sylva. Posterity will forever remember you,” they said.
On the forthcoming November 11, 2023 governorship election, the group pledged its support for Sylva, noting that it would rally its members and the people of Opu-Nembe to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to the group, it would ensure it mobilise the people to reciprocate the love Sylva has shown for the people by voting him in as governor.
The group, therefore, urged the general public to disregard news targeted at discrediting Sylva, noting that it was the handiwork of disgruntled elements.
The statement reads, “In the same vein, we wish to assure Chief Timipre Marlin Sylva that Opu Nembe (Bassambiri) people are solidly behind his gubernatorial ambition, as well to reciprocate the unequaled love he has demonstrated for the Opu Nembe Kingdom.
“The group therefore urges the general public to disregard whatever uncomplimentary remarks and frivolous allegations being peddled against him by some disgruntled elements in the community.
“The Opu-Nembe chapter of the Bayelsa Rescue Movement, wishes to vow in strong terms to do our possible best in making sure, Chief Timipre Marlin Sylva is elected Governor of Bayelsa State come November, 2023.”
