Some members of the All Progressives’ Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State are rooting for a female with a rich professional resume to occupy a choice Federal Ministry following the resignation of Chief Timipre Sylva, as Minister of State for Petroleum, to vie for the Bayelsa Guber race.
They say, having a core professional Engineer, such as Prof Ongoebi Maureen Orubide Etebu, who contested for the APC guber primaries, and came fourth out of the six aspirants, as ministerial nominee to represent Bayelsa State, puts her at a vantage position to be in charge of a choice Ministry such as Petroleum Resources, or Power, or Works and Infrastructure which are critical to the development of Bayelsa State and the Niger Delta at large.
