Sylva, a former governor and governorship candidate of the APC for the Saturday’s election, had taken his campaign train to Jonathan’s area to canvass support for his governorship ambition ahead of the poll.
Sylva and his entourage were received by the monarchs of the four clans –
Anyama, Abureni, Emeyal and Oloibiri – and chiefs that make up Ogbia at the Ogbia Brotherhood house, the first time to receive any candidate there.
His Royal Majesty, King George Lawson, led other traditional rulers such as King Madock Ogbogi, King Omie Theophilus, King Ebi Daniel and the chiefs, who defied the downpour and trooped out to give Sylva a rousing reception at Ogbia Brotherhood.
The traditional rulers blessed and endorsed the candidacy of Sylva, referring to him as the “governor-elect and incoming governor of Bayelsa.”
In their speech read by King George Lawson, the traditional rulers assured the governorship candidate of the APC their total support to actualise his dream.
They said, “We, the entire people of Ogbia, are solidly behind you. We want to assure you that the four clans in Ogbia are with you.
“The Ogbia people are united in ensuring that we give you 100 per cent support. We want to assure you that your victory is foreclosed.
“Ogbia people have resolved that you were doing enough for the people before you were denied your second chance to be governor. We will give you full support to actualise your mandate by mobilising our people to vote en masss for you on December 5, 2015.”
