Timi Alaibe Finally Joins Bayelsa Guber Race

At the last count, 13 persons have obtained the expression of interest and nomination forms to vie for the ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC, ahead of the December 5 Bayelsa State governorship election. Prominent amongst them is a former Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Mr. Timi Alaibe.




His entry into the race may have altered the equation. It may also rattle incumbent Governor Seriake Dickson. Sunday Vanguard was present when Alaibe returned his expression of interest and nomination forms to the APC National Headquarters on Thursday.


Perhaps, the import of his legacies at the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, had never dawned on him until Monday last week. On that day, his people from Bayelsa State stormed the National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Abuja to purchase the expression of interest and nomination forms for the governorship election in the state for him.


As a former Managing Director of the NDDC, Mr. Timi Alaibe spent time and deliberately articulated programmes and polices that rubbed off positively on the nine states of the Niger Delta.
