A former Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Timi Alaibe; have joined the November governorship race on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Alaibe is aspiring to be the PDP candidate for Bayelsa State.
Alaibe spoke to journalists after collecting his nomination and expression of interest forms in Abuja.
Alaibe promised to bring to bear his experience in the private and public sectors in implementing policies that would ensure improvement of sustainable and even development of Bayelsa State.
He stated that he would ensure employment generation and improvement in the welfare of the people as well as improve tourism in the state.
He said, “As a PDP state, we want to retain Bayelsa State. As such, we are going to, as the governor, consolidate the good and great work that our governor, Seriake Dickson, has done so far in Bayelsa State. We are going to consolidate his achievements, especially his work in areas of critical infrastructure in the education sector, health and other critical infrastructural projects.
“For us, as a vision, we will espouse our belief of using government as a social investment platform in the implementation of social infrastructural projects in security, health and environment. But more importantly, we will espouse our interest in using government as an enabler for the maintenance of a peaceful and conducive environment to attract private sector capital, experience and strategy in implementing accelerated economic development. We will utilise that in also implementing environmental projects to redeem ecological degradation in the Niger Delta.”
