“This is the more reason why all Bayelsans must come out on Saturday and rally round our party and candidate, Chief Timipre Sylva.
“Sylva 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.”
