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

A Youths Group has cautioned Bayelsans against a mysterious campaign salt in circulation in Bayelsa State believed to be provided by the Gubernatorial ticket 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 saw that what the good people of Bayelsa needs 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 flavored spices to a pot of soup.

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