Siasia To Contest Bayelsa Gov by laidian(m): 4:05am On Jul 06, 2015
The younger brother of Coach Samson Siasia has expressed his
desire to contest the Bayelsa State governorship election next
year.

Moses, who spoke at a news conference in Yenagoa, on Saturday,
lamented that Bayelsa had witnessed several broken promises
since its creation in 1996.

The 35-year-old described the unemployment rate in the state as alarming, saying that 85 per cent of Bayelsa populace was
unemployed.

He said he would contest the governorship election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party later in the year. He also said the state’s huge monthly revenues from the Federal
Government had not translated into an improved standard of
living among the people of the state.

Siasia, who is a kinsman of the incumbent Governor Seriake
Dickson, said the state needed a productive machinery to reverse the socio-economic problems allegedly dogging Bayelsa State.

He said, “Unemployment is taking its toll on our youths. We
have over 85 per cent of Bayelsa youths unemployed. How do
we create employment for our teeming youths that have been
impoverished by successive governments and that have become
disillusioned?”

“Now, we need to create a great industrial and education
revolution in Bayelsa. Today, I have spoken with some of my
partners that would be encouraged to create jobs in the state –
as soon as I get the mandate.

“In one year, we can create 20,000 jobs. You don’t give what you don’t have. I have created jobs before. I am doing it now in my business. So, if I am saddled with public office, I can do more for our people. What we have are people who have not created jobs anywhere. They don’t even understand the dynamics of creating jobs for the people.

“We need a leadership mindset that can transform the state and
make it an economic hub, a marine hub. Today, the world is
talking about blue sea economy, where people can use marine.
Government can use the marine sector and create massive jobs
and industrialisation for their people and that is what we going
to do.”

I think it's a shot in the dark, but it's better to try and fail than not to try at all.
