Less than a week after constituents of Senator Ben Murray Bruce called Him an Abuja-Senator and threatened to recall Him over gross incompetence and poor representation, the same set of individuals mainly student leaders have made a strange reversal on same subject matter.
In a statement titled ‘An Unreserved Apology to Distinguished Senator Ben Murray-Bruce’, which was jointly signed by Comrade Samuel Rinah Tari (National Presidents of all Nembe Students); Comrade Ambrose Joseph (National Presidents of all Brass Students), and Comrade Mark John (National Presidents of all Ogbia Students), that make up Ben's Constituency, the student leaders tendered an unreserved apology to Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, following comments and allegations levelled by the associations against the national lawmaker.
The Student Union Leaders who blamed their earlier action on ignorance and misinformation said;
“We sincerely apologize for the comments we made regarding Distinguished Senator Ben Murray-Bruce. We did not have our facts correct when we made the statement we did. We relied on unverified hearsay which have since proved to be wrong and now that we have established the truth we which to state the following:
“Senator Ben Murray-Bruce has visited his constituencies multiple times since his election. Senator Ben Murray-Bruce has contributed to the development of Bayelsa East over and beyond his constitutional requirements including influencing the Silverbird Group to invest in the area and employ natives of Bayelsa East, and Senator Ben Murray-Bruce is not an ‘Abuja based’ politician but a man who is intricately connected to his people.
“We regret the inconveniences we have caused to Senator Ben Murray-Bruce and his constituents, friends and family and we hereby withdraw our earlier statements with its ultimatum and demands”, the students added.
Meanwhile a Youth Leader from Ogbia who wouldn't want his name to be made public has accused the common-sense senator of bribing the student Leaders in a bid to save his head from the embarrassment further steps and recall threats may cause Him. He maintained that all the previous allegations levelled against Sen.Bruce were true, therefore there was no need to apologise to Him.
" That Sen.Ben Bruce is the worst we have ever had is a glaring fact that even the blind can see. He could never have won even a Councillorship position in this state if not for PDP and His imposition on us by Gov.Dickson. I read the earlier statement by the student leaders and everything they said were common facts but what happened few days after that they are now praising the same man they condemned leaves us with much suspicion. The truth is that Ben Bruce can not bribe all of us. 2019 will soon be here, His type may never return to the Senate.he stated.
