Why l rejected Jonathan as brother, by Sylva

Former Bayelsa State Governor Chief Timipre Sylva has said he publicly denounced President Goodluck Jonathan as his brother because the President failed to develop the Niger Delta.

Besides, Sylva, said Jonathan denied him all the love, care and protection expected from a brother.


Sylva, while campaigning for the Presidential candidate of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Samson Siasia Stadium, Yenagoa, last weekend disowned the President before a crowd of people.

But justifying his position on a private radio station, Royal FM, Sylva said he was convinced that the candidature of Buhari would change the polity and the nation for good.

He said the bond he shared with Jonathan ended when the latter removed him from office and hatched series of plot to put him in jail.

The former governor, who is flying the flag of APC for the Bayelsa East Senatorial District, said he feels more comfortable working with his new political friends than Jonathan.
