Brass—Chief Doukuma Taylor-Ibani from Liama community (ward 6) in Brass Local Government Area of Bayelsa State has called on Hon. Robert Desmond to contest the Brass Constituency 1 seat in the Bayelsa State House of Assembly come 2023.
Taylor-Ibani who made this known in a chat with our reporter stated that Desmond is more than qualified to represent the people of Brass constituency 1 given his track record of selfless service, philanthropy and integrity.
“As it stands, I don’t see anybody more qualified to represent our people in the House of Assembly than Robert Desmond. He should throw his hat into the ring.
“Despite not holding any political position, he has constantly taken the welfare of our people as his priority.
“He has been supporting students, women, men and youths in our constituency for years now and I believe he will do more if given the opportunity to represent us.
“I’m calling on the good people of Brass constituency 1 to give him their full support. As our son, we have to rally around him for the actualization of this aspiration,” he said.
He noted that the issue of infrastructural deficit, environmental degradation, erosion, among others currently being experienced will be a thing of the past with Desmond as lawmaker representing the constituency.
Desmond, a stalwart of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is the leader of an APC support group, the New Face of Brass.
