Kashim Shettima, Vice president of Nigeria, has echoed President Bola Tinubu’s commitment towards the overall development of the Niger Delta as well as other parts of the country.
Shettima, who represented Tinubu at the grand finale of the All-Progressives Congress (APC), gubernatorial rally in Bayelsa State ahead of Saturday’s election noted that Bayelsa State, like every other state in Nigeria, remained dear to the visions and developmental focus of the Tinubu administration.
Stanley Nkwocha revealed in a statement by the Vice President that a holistic plan for the development of the Niger Delta and all parts of Nigeria in terms of infrastructure, technological advancements, education and harnessing of the bountiful resources has not only been mapped out but is being gradually laid out.
“My principal, our president, is a man filled with vision, willpower and total commitment to the Nigerian project. He is unwavering and, in a rush to ensure the speedy development of the Niger Delta and all other parts of the country.
“What we owe him is our support and loyalty for him to succeed. This is the more reason why all Bayelsans must come out on Saturday and rally round our party and candidate, Timipre Sylva, who is your own and known for his tenacity for excellence. It is high time the people of Bayelsa State joined the government at the centre. The opportunity is here, and the time is now,” Shettima stated.
Abdullahi Ganduje, the national chairman of the APC, also spoke at the occasion and characterized Sylva as a sophisticated politician and technocrat who is dedicated to changing and reframing Bayelsa State’s political, economic, and developmental environment.
