The Bayelsa State governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Timipre Sylva, has vowed to develop a gas-based economy in the state if elected governor.
The APC candidate assured that Bayelsa would be best run on a gas-based economy, saying, “There is a need to develop an economy in Bayelsa State as far as I’m concerned…
He hopes to do this in conjunction with the private sector, adding that he will resolve issues hindering power stabilization, oil theft, and agricultural development. Sylva expressed his hopes that INEC would announce his reinstatement in hopes that he would be re-elected as governor and gain the opportunity to round off unfinished projects he began that were abandoned by his predecessor.
He said, “I have been saying everywhere that during my campaign trail, I have a 6-point agenda. I’m aware that I don’t have a very long tenor; at best, I have a 4-year tenor. I want to hit the ground running.
