Entertainment Czar and President of the Silverbird Group, Mr. Ben
Murray-Bruce, Monday declared his intention to represent Bayelsa East
Senatorial District at the National Assembly. Ben Murray-Bruce is from
Brass Local Government, where the senatorial seat has been zoned to.
Murray-Bruce promised to sponsor bills that will tackle poverty in the
country if his people support and vote for him to get to the senate. 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.” He berated the wealthy in the society, who he said do not pay
taxes, wondering how one man could afford to own three private jets if
he was paying his taxes regularly and correctly.
