Silverbird Group CEO,
Ben Murray-Bruce has officially declared his intention to contest and represent Bayelsa East Senatorial District at the National Assembly in the upcoming 2015 General elections. The former Director General of the
Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) is expected to contest on the platform of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Below is Murray-Bruce statement:
“I am running for the Senate because I am interested in the laws of our land; I am interested in making change and I am not interested in business as usual.
“I have always been concerned about the poverty of the mind, about women who are not being protected, children who are being raped, men who are paedophiles, a society where there is no order; we must bring order to our society.
“There are too many poor people living under the bridge. Nigeria is too rich for people to be poor and Nigeria is too poor for the super upper class to be so rich. That has to stop.”
It can be recalled that the Silverbird boss reportedly contested for the 2011 governorship elections, also on the platform of the PDP, but was disqualified by the party. He will compete with
Dr. Daru Owei, a former General Manager of the
Nigerian Agip Oil Company, to win the PDP ticket.
