The leadership of the All Progressives Congress in Bayelsa State has come out to say that its governorship candidate, Timipre Sylva has been the sole financier of the state chapter of the party.

The state APC chairman, Dennis Otiotio recently revealed this to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, Timipre has always shouldered the financial burden of the state APC, so the party supporters decided to use a grand reception to demonstrate their love for him and commitment to his electoral victory.

He added that members and supporters wanted to welcome Sylva back home with the event as he had travelled to Abuja shortly after the exercise.

His words, “Timipre Sylva has been the sole sponsor of the party in the previous elections. He has been the pillar behind the party; he has been the sole financier of the party and the people felt that now that he has been elected the candidate of our party, we have to come out en masse and show him love and commitment.”

“We want to tell him that we are behind him and we will move all the way to ensure that he is elected Governor of Bayelsa State come November 11, 2023.”

“The State Executive Committee of this great party had constituted a reconciliation committee headed by his His Royal Highness, Prof. Millionaire Abowei, so we are on track.”

“In the aftermath of any party primary there will be people who are aggrieved. The mandate of the reconciliation committee is to reconcile all aggrieved members so that we will present a common and united front.”
