Bayelsa Consolidation Movement has joined other groups to urge Mr. Reuben Okoya to declare his interest to contest the forthcoming governorship election in Bayelsa State.
The group stressed that a cursory look at persons that had been taunted as governor, Okoya stands out and distinguished himself in private and public domain as the man who the cap fits to govern the state at the moment.
Addressing a news conference at the NUJ in Yensgoa, the Director General of the Bayelsa Consolidation Movement (BCN), Tommy Ere, said that the group, which has no affiliation with any other group, has verified all the names thrown-up for governorship race and found out that he is more qualified for the plumb position.
Parts of the statement reads: “However, only one person will eventually occupy the seat of governor. Therefore as a group of well meaning and patriotic Bayelsans to whom the unity, speedy, prosperous and progress of our beloved state is a big deal ,we have identified one man among the lot, best suited for the job. We take this position on the basis of this individual’s humility, comportment, background, exposure, records of service in the private and public sectors, creativity, passion and compelling vision for the growth and development of our great state “
