Why I left Jonathan for Buhari -Sylva Former Bayelsa State Governor, Timipre Sylva, says failure of President Goodluck Jonathan to develop the Niger Delta region made him to denounce him. Sylva also claimed that Jonathan denied him of all the love, care and protection expected from a brother. He insisted that the President betrayed the aspirations of the people of the region, saying that Jonathan by so doing rejected the brotherhood of his people. Sylva had while campaigning for the presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress at the Samson Siasia Stadium, Yenagoa, last week disowned the President before a crowd of people from the state. But justifying his position to the people of the state on a private radio station, Royal FM, shortly after the rally, Sylva said he was convinced that the candidacy of Buhari would change the polity and the nation for good. He said the bond he shared with Jonathan ceased when the latter allegedly removed him from office and hatched a series of plot to put him in jail without success. Sylva, who is the APC’s stsandard bearer for the Bayelsa East Senatorial District, said he felt more comfortable working with his new political friends than Jonathan. He said the President plotted his political downfall and serially failed to attract the expected development to the region. He said, “Please, go and ask my so called brother. If he is really my brother. I don’t think he is my brother. Who is your brother? Your brother is who looks after you. He who looks after your back. “This is a so-called brother who pushed you to the fox. As far as am concerned my brother is the who met me on the street and took me into his home. “And am sure you will agree with me that a brother who pushed me into the street for the fox to feed on is not my brother. As far as am concerned I don’t see him as a brother anymore. Please, I don’t think Bayelsa should make the mistake. His problem is that he only thinks about himself.” On the allegation by Jonathan that he was removed from office for failing to complete the Five Star Tower Hotel, he said, “Well, I passed by that project and I remember that the President was very vocal that I have not completed the project. “You know that project was on second floor when I came in as Governor and took it to where it is. That project was given for N8billion and I felt it was too high. But there was nothing I could do about it. “Because I don’t want to quarrel with the past administration, I would have cancelled the project. I decided to continue with the projects even though I don’t agree with all of them. I gave out N6billion to the contractor and he took the project to where we are.” ift.tt/1DDKIGt ift.tt/1qGUBZv [[Boost your social presence with NAIRALIKES nairalikes ]] #nigeria x #nairalikes #vanguardng
