Timipre Sylva Responsible For Murdered 'nembe Soldiers', Says Gov. Dickson by Nobody: 9:05pm On Aug 08, 2015 |
Timipre Sylva, the immediate past governor of Bayelsa
state, has accused Seriake Dickson, his successor, of being
responsible for the high rate of violence in the state.
Refuting the allegation that he has a hand in the killing of
four soldiers and a policeman in the Nembe area of the
Bayelsa, Sylva said his detractors were out to tarnish his
reputation.
The security personnel were killed by suspected pirates and
a group known as Ijaw Young Professionals in Bayelsa
state accused Sylva of being behind the tragic incident.
Sylva described the claim as “unsubstantiated and
irresponsible”.
“The attention of H.E. Chief Timipre Sylva, leader of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State, has been
drawn to a statement issued Saturday by one ‘Barrister
Seighfa Tonye-Brown’ on behalf of the ‘Ijaw Young
Professionals in Bayelsa State,’” read a statement issued on
behalf of Sylva by Doifie Buokoribo, his spokesman.
“In the statement, the non-existent Tonye-Brown and his
faceless group made wild, unsubstantiated and irresponsible
accusations against the APC and Sylva concerning
Thursday’s killing of four soldiers and a mobile policeman in
Nembe by unknown gunmen.
“Sylva wishes to state categorically that he knows nothing
whatsoever about the Nembe killings. Similarly, neither
Sylva nor the APC that he leads in the state is privy to any
plan to employ violence as a strategy to win the forthcoming
gubernatorial election in the state.
“Sylva notes further that the escalation of violence in the
state should be put squarely at the doorstep of the
incumbent government of Mr. Henry Seriake Dickson. That
government has failed woefully in securing lives and
property, but instead has overtly and covertly procured and
traded in violence to intimidate political opponents and any
voice of reason.
“That same government has embarked on all manners of
subterfuge including, facilitating of arms to non-state actors
essentially to prevent the change that is imminent in
Bayelsa State. It is no doubt that Sylva as the symbol of
that change is the target of this schizoid propaganda by
faceless groups, paid and unpaid writers, and political
jobbers.
“Sylva is unperturbed. Sylva abhors violence. He has never
promoted violence under any guise. He only represents the
voice of millions of Bayelsa people seeking change in the
affairs of the state, a change to the gross ineptitude,
pathetic profligacy and grand larceny of Mr. Henry Seriake
Dickson.
“Sylva calls on the Inspector General of Police to order an
immediate investigation of the Nembe killings, and most
particularly those behind the “Ijaw Young Professionals in
Bayelsa State.” https://www.thecable.ng/sylva-dickson-responsible-violence-bayelsa cc: lalasticlala |
