He emphasised that Sylva possesses the experience and skills just as he is widely accepted by Bayelsans to put the state on the pedestals of sustainable development.
He noted that the postponement of the official flag off of the campaign scheduled for Saturday October 14, 2023 was to allow for adequate preparations to receive President Bola Ahmed Tinubu who is expected to be in Yenagoa for the event, adding that a new date for the flag off would be communicated soonest.
As part of the visit to Bayelsa, the team also held a meeting with party stakeholders across the eight local government areas at the campaign secretariat in Yenagoa to finetune plans ahead of campaign activities in Kolokuma/Opokuma and Southern Ijaw local government areas of the state scheduled for Tuesday and between October 18 and 20, 2023 respectively.
Yahaya, therefore, called on all our teeming supporters and well wishers to come out en masse for the campaign rallies.
