Former Governor of Bayelsa state, Timipre Sylva has said that former President Goodluck Jonathan was President of Bayelsa state, not President of Nigeria.
Slyva said this while reacting to Jonathan’s support for Baylesa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, who is seeking reelection in the forthcoming gubernatorial polls in the state.
Sylva who is also an aspirant of the All Progressives Congress made this statement in an interview with newsmen in Abuja.
He said “I am not worried. I always say that the former president was the president of Bayelsa State and he has proven me right. He has always been the president of Bayelsa State; He was never the President of Nigeria.”
On his chances of winnig,he said “I feel that I have a good standing with the people. As you can see, if you look behind me, you will see the array of Bayelsans who are here with me. Who else is left in Bayelsa? So, I think that because of the people who are with me, I feel I stand a very good chance.”
