Some youths operating under the aegis of Bayelsa New Generation Leaders have lambasted the immediate past member of the House of Representatives, Israel Sunny-Goli, for launching attacks on the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the November 11 governorship election, Timipre Sylva.
Sunny-Goli, loyalist of Sylva for over 20 years and stalwart of the APC, formally announced on Thursday that he had quit the campaign train of the former minister of state for petroleum resources.
The former legislator, who represented Nembe-Brass Federal Constituency, claimed at a press briefing in Yenagoa that his benefactor and APC governorship hopeful did not have political structure to defeat Governor Douye Diri, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party.But the group stressed that Sunny-Goli misrepresented facts because for nine years he stayed away in Abuja and lost touch with vast majority of Bayelsa people battling poverty in a state blessed with abundant wealth and resources.
