A former Niger-Delta agitator, Pastor Reuben Wilson, on Monday, urged President Bola Tinubu to rescue the All Progressives Congress, APC, and its gubernatorial candidate in the November 11 election in Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre Sylva, from a looming defeat.
Wilson, who is the South-South coordinator of The Asiwaju Group, made the plea in an open letter to the president. He also decried what he called the nonchalant posturing of political leaders from the state towards Sylva’s candidacy, ahead of the election.
“The Asiwaju Group and the Pastor Reuben Initiative for Good Leadership and Accountability actively participated in your electoral victory by massively mobilizing voters in the South-South Zone to give you the minimum constitutional requirement of 25% votes in each of the Six South-South States, that hitherto, were the strongholds of the People’s Democratic Party .
He said: “I promise that I will even do better in 2027, if you decide to contest for a second term in office.
