Nigerians have been assured that the gains of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic policies will be massive and far-reaching.
A former Bayelsa State Governor, Chief Timipre Sylva, who gave the assurance recently in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Julius Bokoru, stated that the former governor is still in line with President Tinubu’s economic policies.
Bokoru ,who had earlier stated that Sylva, a former Petroleum Minister, while campaigning for Tinubu in Bayelsa during the last election described the President as a “modern industrialist”.
“The fact is made even more apparent by the fact Sylva campaigned on the fundamentals of President Tinubu’s ideals: modesty, clarity and a sincere absence of speculation, an agenda of the people for the people”,he said.
Bokoru , however,added that there was never a time Chief Sylva directly or indirectly wrote any article against President Tinubu’s economic policies.
He said the attention of Sylva, the Governorship Candidate in the last election as well as the leader of the APC in Bayelsa, was recently drawn to an article, which was critical and caustic to the economic Policies of President Bola Tinubu.
Bokoru said: “The idea of the article, its originators and sponsors, is to create a wedge between Chief Timipre Sylva and his Principal President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. This is a cheap shot and one of the most unintelligent act of political schemes. It reeks of helplessness, lethargy and classless desperation.
“Their antecedents have made them predictable. So promoting, sponsoring and producing phantom articles, articles they don’t believe themselves, with the ghastly intent of tying their utter mischief to Chief Sylva is nothing that cannot be anticipated, it is not even close to the inner bowels of their cynicism and evil.
“The author of the said piece is not the spokesman of Chief Timipre Sylva or the APC in Bayelsa State. The thoughts expressed are the ruminations of an individual expressing his personal views which aren’t those of Chief Sylva. The former Minister of State for Petroleum Resources has a clear and unambiguous channel of communication”.
He insisted that Sylva remained a known and vocal believer of President Tinubu’s economic blue print.
“Chief Sylva has campaigned tirelessly on the efficacy of the presidents economic plans and believes strongly that as a country we are on course for a healthier, sustaining economy.
