[size=14pt]‘Attack on The Nation’s vehicle aimed at Sylva’[/size]
On November 1, 2011 · In News

By Emmanuel Aziken, Political Editor
Bayelsa State Government, Monday, flayed the attack on a circulation van belonging to The Nation newspaper, describing the motive of the arsonists as another dimension to orchestrate political attacks aimed at derailing Governor Timipre Sylva’s re-election.

Commissioner for Information, Orientation and Strategy, Mr. Nathan Egba, in a statement, said the attack was aimed at creating a feeling of insecurity in the state that would undermine Sylva’s prospects in the forthcoming election.

He said: “Bayelsa State government wishes to condemn in very strong terms, the attack this morning of a circulation van belonging to The Nation newspaper by some unidentified persons around Mbriama who accused the paper of supporting Sylva.

“This no doubt is a new and dangerous dimension on the part of those who are bent on taking power from Governor Sylva by whatever means.

“Their desperation has moved beyond blackmail and rumour mongering to introduction of violence. This is a dangerous trend that will only bring misery to our people and create an air of insecurity and fear in our hitherto peaceful State.

“Governor Sylva is aware of the plans by some opponents to make the state appear lawless to give the impression of lack of effective governance.”

Lol! ACN can have Sylva since they so desperately want him. The whispering of sweet nothings between both lovers has reached a crescendo. Rascals attract rascals.

That is another fascist thinking. Militants just burned down a media property for absolutely nothing, and you are here supporting the act in the name of politics. Shame.

When miliants bombed GEJ's house everybody condemned it, ditto when they bombed the governors meetings. These are all condemnable act. It did not matter what their politics were.

Burn is a safe word to use in this instance, they migh as well have bombed it.

Watch the road you are going down. It is not leading in the right direction. You can't just condemn Boko Haram and comend Bayelsa Militants who engage in acts of terror.

You can wax lyrical about tangential matters that twang your emotions. It wouldn't change the fact that ACN is desperate to get their hands on Sylva; or do you have another story?

Your made up story about ACN and Sylva is just what it is, the political ploy of the politically deaf party (PDP).

@Beaf, you should be ashamed of yourself. koruji is right, this is an act of terrorism and crime that should be condemned period!

I don't recall commenting on the act, do you? If so, where? Lol!
I have simply said that ACN can have Sylva, since they are so in love with him. It is the percieved love affair that caused the van to be burnt which is a different and regretable story altogether.

Yeah, and people in far away Bayelsa somehow made up the same story too and burnt Tinubu's newspapers van. I'm getting convinced that you are as dence as a rock.
Dude, ACN has no place in the ND, we don't deal with bloodsuckers. After throwing off the yoke from the core-North, no other group is going to think they can walk into the place. Dem neva born dem. cool
I believe, that was the message being passed to both Sylva and Tinubu. If you like accept, you like don't, its your cup of tea.

Blame your problems on somebody else, that is what you do best.

Who cares if you want ACN? All you need to know is concentrate on making your state better, and stop trying to re-introduce the cold hands of PDP to the SW. We have experienced it and it is not something to wish on one's enemy. You would think PDP has shown any stella performance anywhere under the sun for anybody to want that party. 16 years and counting at the center - zip, zero, nada, at the state level - most of which it controls - zip, zero, nada, at the local level - zip, zero, nada!!!

If Bayelsa has experience PDP for this long and doesn't realize that it is a dead-end, then goodluck to you all cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy

This is lawlessness. Why should anyone's property be attacked in the name of politics?

But is Sylva really a political asset?

By the way, what did the journalists want to write, Mbiama or Mbriama?

Wetin Reverend Okotie talk again?

Avian species of identical plumage tend to congregate in close proximity

Sylva: Cocaine Addict

Demola Seriki: Cocaine Pusher

Yekini Bola Tinubu Amoda Ogunlere Sangodele: Drug Lord and Cocaine Addict

Dem fit demself well well. As you can see, PDP have found a way of getting rid of the drug addicts amongst us. Just push them to ACN - Association of Cocaine users in Nigeria!

Is Sylvia not the PDP Governor of Bayelsa State?

Did Sylvia not win the last PDP primaries? Then the Gov. Election as a PDP candidate?

So why this crude attempt to dump a Useless and current PDP cargo on another party?

I hope ACN people are not falling for this evil propaganda. PDP Bayelsa must carry their load, Na dem buy the market.

ACN want Sylva. I don't think Sylva really wants to leave PDP, but both sides have made contact. It might go through or it might not, that contact is the reall reason those boys got enraged enough to commit such a dastardly crime against what seems like ACN property to them.

And you keep telling me you are not connected. This one wey u dey chop alone no good o.

Anyway beaf., let ACN speak. I see no evidence of this connection yet. All I see is internal PDP politics. We need to first address how Sylvia, the PDP darling + his party failed Bayelsa people so woefully before we can sell him to another party.

They can't just sell bad market like that, we must do appraisal.

I have no connections at all. What I know can be gleaned from the press, so I nefa chop nutin.
ACN has shown incredible desperation to get an oil producing state and tend to pick the worst characters in the ND, witness the disgraceful Akpan Udoedehe in Akwa Ibom for example.
Re: 'Attack On The Nation Newspaper’s Vehicle Was Aimed At Gov Sylva' by sheyguy: 1:27pm On Nov 01, 2011
It baffles me that somebody somewhere is still supporting PDP, an evil party where nothing works under them, we need anything that can save us from this evil stronghold called PDP urgently.
Re: 'Attack On The Nation Newspaper’s Vehicle Was Aimed At Gov Sylva' by Demdem(m): 1:43pm On Nov 01, 2011
Until its confirmed, slvia is still in pdp. And if ACN decides to take him as being alleged that's their cup of tea. However this useless pdp govt won't fish out the perpetrators of this devilish act.

Governor Timi Sylva currently represents PDP,

Won the PDP primary, He is the PDP flagbearer and even the PDP governor of President Odechukwu Retardeens state

Beaf said "I have no connections at all." - he spends his entire waking hour on PDP & GEJ propaganda.

That takes the case for the lie of the century.

Beaf, isn't Edo state Oil producing? undecided
Even 2 senatorial districts in Anambra and one in Awka-Ibom were won by ACN members.
I don't get this idea of you saying "they"(who are the they, btw?) want to add an "oil producing state" to their party. Its too simplistic. Or are you implying that these people (Edos, Anambrains and Awka-Ibom citizens) are "paying" due to, god knows where?
I don't get it.
Re: 'Attack On The Nation Newspaper’s Vehicle Was Aimed At Gov Sylva' by jason123: 6:01pm On Nov 02, 2011
Gov Sylva should stick to his party. All this Nigerians party paraposim!
