Timi Alaibe, a former managing director of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has withdrawn from the Bayelsa gubernatorial race.
He was initially planning on ruling the state under the aegis of the All Progressives Congress (APC) but he pulled out on Wednesday in the interest of his political party.
His withdrawal has now given the former Governor of the state, Timipre Sylva, a great chance to emerge as APC flag bearer for the election.
People in various corners believe that Alaibe was asked to step down to let sleeping dogs lie and for peace to reign in Bayelsa’s APC.
Describing the decision as self-sacrifice, Alaibe said it was taken out of his desire to give APC deserved peace and unity ahead of the election.
Alaibe said in a statement released early Wednesday, “My aspiration to be governor after series of consultations was to rekindle our collective hope and lift the state beyond its current state of decay under the PDP.
“Regardless, I am not oblivious of the fundamental fact that we all need a virile, united, cohesive and collaborative APC to bring about our desires to fruition. Not only do we need this, APC deserves every sacrifice, including personal interests, to arrive at the envisaged destination come February 2016.”
