Silverbird boss, Ben Murray Bruce, declares for Senate

Showbiz mogul and President of Silverbird Group, Mr. Ben Murray-Bruce, has declared his intention to contest for Senate in next year’s elections. He will be contesting on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to represent Bayelsa East Senatorial District.

Making his declaration on Monday, he said:“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.”
