The leadership of a foremost youths’ group under the auspices of Bayelsa State New Generation Leaders (BSNGL) has hailed the commitment of ex-Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva, to peace and security in the state.

BSNGL in a statement by its Director-General, Apostle Bodmas Kemepadei, said Sylva’s efforts at entrenching peace and stability in Bayelsa remained indisputable and incontrovertible.

He described the former governor of the state and the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 governorship election as a father-figure, who believed in patience, tolerance, equity, justice and hope for a better existence of all.

Kemepadei said Sylva’s philosophy had endeared him to the people of the state and contributed to the peace and security enjoyed in Bayelsa at present.

While expressing the group’s unalloyed duty and solidarity to continue to support Sylva’s disposition towards a peaceful Bayelsa, he noted that peace remains the bedrock of security, growth and development of any society.

“Chief Timpre Sylva’s legacies in Bayelsa State remains indelible and his continuous support, service and loyalty to the state will always inspire us to support him at all times.

“We commend his continuous support, political sagacity and efforts towards peace and security in the state and we have channeled our arsenal of solidarity towards him character, which we enjoy as a people and state.

“As a group of vibrant, committed and articulate youths in Bayelsa State, we are always with him. Sylva remain a great leader of impeccable character. His traducers will not succeed in reducing his greatness and influence in our state. We are solidly behind him in every sense of the word.

“We are indeed pleased with his peaceful composure, tenacity and dedication towards the advancement of the state during and after the off-cycle election characterised by immense political tension, which is still a subject of disputation.’’
