"He has been able to produce a blueprint for this agenda, he has been able to develop a strategy for the implementation of the blueprint, he is conversant with the workings of the Federal Government, he is conversant with the workings of the state government.

"So he will be able to build a synergy between the Federal  and the Bayelsa state government so that he can take this state to a much higher level.

“We have to believe in him, he has knowledge, he knows the environment, he knows the character and the implementors, therefore he knows how to coordinate for his six point agenda.

Talking about the campaign council, he said  “Our national campaign council, we have selected competent people, with experience, who know what it takes to win election.

"You need to be proactive, you need to be organized, you need to be disciplined, you need to follow the electoral laws, you need to know the security issues, you need to know how to monitor and how to administer voting system, so that you don't give room that you are rigged out.

 "You must invigilate, you must supervise. In election day, you must be up and doing, put your ears and nose ground at   the polling units.

“The team that we have put together that will work with the local team in Bayelsa will be able to win the election, come November 11." He said.

Also speaking, the chairman of APC National Campaign Council and Governor of Gombe State, Mohammad Inuwa Yahaya, expressed hope that with the Calibre of persons in the campaign council and the massive supports the party has received from the people of Bayelsa state, the election will be  an easy ride for APC and it's candidate, Timipre Sylva.

“As we came into Bayelsa state, we saw things for ourselves, our party and the candidate are really on ground, when we saw a very high influx of personalities coming into the party, even from the sitting government and other parties, we really have peace of mind that our party is heading for success.

“With the Calibre of personalities in the campaign team, I believe by the grace of God, we will deliver Sylva into the Government house in Yenagoa. We will work assiduously and deliver him.

“But for us to succeed, I call on all party men and women, Committee members to join hands, because there is strength in unity, we should never go with a divided house,  with what we saw on  ground already, with a little effort, we will unseat the PDP government and to do that, we must work hard." He said.
