A group under the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Bayelsa State, APC for Truth, has criticised the immediate past Minister of State for Petroleum
Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva, for celebrating a chieftaincy title conferred on him by a village chief in Ohafia amid a boat mishap that claimed lives of traders in his country home, Okpoama, Brass Local Government Area.
“It is a sad commentary on the poor values Timipre Sylva places on the craze for chieftaincy titles above the about 15 precious lives of his own kits and kin of the Okpoama community who died in a boat capsize. Kuro said that Sylva, as a former Governor and Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, would live with the moral burden for the rest of his life for his failure to construct a road to his riverine community.
The group apologised on behalf of the party to the people of Okpoama and Okoroma communities and conveyed APC’s heartfelt condolences for the pain and loss of their loved ones.
