APC chieftain assures on rapid development of Bayelsa

A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Pastor Reuben Wilson has said that it is only the APC government that can guarantee the rapid socio-economic development of Bayelsa.

Wilson, initiator of Pastor Reuben Initiative for Good Leadership and Accountability, (PRIFGLA), an APC support group told newsmen on Monday that the programmes of the party were endorsed by the electorate.

He explained that a government at the state level that connects with the Federal Government can attract the needed development, adding that if the APC had governed the state there would have been a major transformation going on.

The APC stalwart noted that the bane of underdevelopment in Bayelsa is the lack of responsive and accountable leadership which the current administration lacks.

Wilson emphasised that only a credible and purposeful leader who loves and understands the feelings of the people can meet the yearnings and expectations of Bayelsa people.

“It is my utmost belief that APC taking over the government in Bayelsa will ensure rapid development.

“The APC has what it takes to enthrone all-round transformation of the state. If the state and centre connect, the needed development will be experienced because of the synergy and collaboration between the centre and state.

“I came up with this initiative, the Pastor Reuben Initiative for Good Leadership and Accountability, (PRIFGLA) because of the dearth of good leadership.

“People left the party because they felt abandoned after the governorship election won convincingly by APC was truncated by the Supreme Court judgement.

“What we need in this state is good leadership, we need good leadership to drive the transformation of the state, without good be the leadership we cannot achieve anything.

“That is why we are determined to bring all aggrieved leaders together in one-fold so that we can take over Bayelsa come 2023 Governorship election. And by the grace of God, we will work tirelessly to make sure APC takes over.

“We are putting things in place to make sure that structures are in place to mobilise support for the APC to return to the winning formula to repeat the feat achieved in the last guber polls.

“Right now, some of our members are going from house to house, unit to unit, community to community and ward to ward to ensure that we talk to people to support our party to take over Bayelsa,” Wilson said.
