The immediate past Governor of Bayelsa State, Timiprey Silva, on Monday in Yola, Adamawa State capital, tendered an unreserved apology to all Nigerians for giving them a wrong leader from the Niger Delta.
Ex-Governor Sylva recalled that in 2011 he was in Adamawa State with elders of
Niger Delta to plead with the North to vote for their son, Goodluck Jonathan,
as President. He said that action was a big mistake.
“The
country is not performing, the ship is sinking due to poor leadership,”
he said and urged all Nigerians to drop petty sentiments and
vote massively for APC and flush out PDP in 2015.
Silva, who spoke at a grand rally
organised by opposition All Progressives Congress said he was tendering
the apology on behalf of elders of the Niger Delta region.
He said the Niger Delta region is now
regretting for bringing an incompetent leader who has infected the nation with
poverty, corruption and religious sentiments to divide brothers and sisters.
Also speaking at the rally, National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, said: “the hour has come for well wishers to save the ship of the nation from wreck under the leadership of the PDP."
Tinubu assured that APC will revamp the nation and give Nigerians true dividends of democracy as is being witnessed in all the states that the APC is controlling today.
He said the coming back of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar into the APC is a giant stride that will move Nigerian democracy forward.
