President Muhammadu Buhari has asked the people of Bayelsa State to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the December 5 governorship election in the state and bring the state to the change that is sweeping across the country.
Buhari who spoke at the grand finale of the APC campaign in the state, through Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, promised that the party would create jobs for Nigerians.
He said the party would ensure good governance, peace, infrastructure development and offer a new era for the people of Bayelsa State, urging them to vote for the APC’s candidate, Timipre Sylva.
“In Bayelsa, Sylva is the new era for peace and prosperity. This is the time to change Bayelsa. This is the time to pave way for job creation, security and development.
“I urge you to do the right thing on the Election Day. This is time to vote out under-development.
“Let us move from the Peoples Democratic Party to APC.
“On the Election Day, go out and cast your vote for the change that you need.”
Sylva, who was one time governor of Bayelsa State, restated his readiness to move the state forward if elected, saying that he would diversify and deepen the state’s economy.
“We have campaigned from community to community and I have promised my people that youth empowerment and job creation will be my priority.
“APC does not stand for darkness, backwardness and under-development.
“I promise you once again that when I emerge as governor, I will also strengthen the state’s workforce.”
The National Chairman of APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, asked the people to vote for the party that would guarantee development for Bayelsa State.
Odigie-Oyegun said: “APC is the party that will take Bayelsa to the Promise Land. Vote for the party and be free from darkness and backwardness.” [myad]
