BAYELSA GUBER POLL: YOUTH GROUP CAUTIONS BAYELSANS AGAINST MYSTERIOUS APC SALT


BAYELSA GUBER POLL: YOUTH GROUP CAUTIONS BAYELSANS AGAINST MYSTERIOUS APC SALT

By Donald Sylva




A Youths Group has cautioned Bayelsans against a mysterious campaign salt in circulation in Bayelsa State believed to have been provided by the gubernatorial candidate of All Progressives Congress.
The Secretary General of the Group, Chief James Oputin, said that the salt branded with the faces of the APC Candidate and his running mate should be avoided because of obvious spiritual implications to the consumption of salt from highly suspicious and tainted quarters.

He said that the Group was in possession of credible information that the salt in circulation was a covert spiritual plan to arrest the minds of the unsuspecting Bayelsa citizens for undeserved political benefits.

He said that the love and passion for the development of Bayelsa must be genuine and of sterner stuff beyond temporary instruments of deceit and deception by desperate politicians for ulterior motives.
Oputin said that what the good people of Bayelsa need  was not food or salt but a visionary leadership driven by years of service in the public sector, that could sustain the tempo of development already established by the Honourable Henry Seriake Dickson led administration in Bayelsa.

He said that the APC should make bold to come forth with its agenda of development for Bayelsa through a manifesto as required by standard democratic practice.The Group Scribe said that Bayelsa was waiting to hear from the candidate of the APC, Chief David Lyon, to assess him and compare him alongside other gubernatorial candidates in the November 16, 2019 elections

Oputin called on Bayelsans to demand a debate between all the candidates of the various political parties to ensure a dispassionate assessment of all of them.
He said that the critical issue of the governance of Bayelsa should not be reduced to the adding of flavoured spices to a pot of soup.

He called on Bayelsans to vote for passion, experience, and excellence in the pursuit of the general good.

By Willie Etim When the idea was first muted, a number of cynics dismissed it, typical of naysayers in our society.  They thought that all the effort will end in futility.

As the initiator and benefactor of the NDCCITMA, the management of the NDDC, established a management committee for the chambers to midwife it to solid take off point.
