Bayelsa PDP Focuses on Tinubu's Re-election in 2027

The Peoples Democratic Party in Bayelsa State has decided to focus on President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign for 2027. They have told their National Assembly candidates to handle their own campaigns fully.

This decision came after a meeting of the party’s State Working Committee on Friday. The meeting discussed the changing political scene as the 2027 general elections approach.

Ikaebimo Mark, the party’s Publicity Secretary, shared this news in a statement on Friday. He said the party will put its energy into a statewide campaign for Tinubu within the National Rainbow Coalition framework.

Mark noted that this decision follows the guidance of the party’s national leader, Nyesom Wike. This was done after discussions with the National Working Committee of the PDP.

The National Assembly candidates have been told to take full charge of their campaigns. They are expected to ramp up grassroots mobilization through community engagements across Bayelsa State.

“The candidates should run their campaigns independently, as many of them have already been doing,” he said.

He added that the state leadership will be on hand to give guidance and support if any candidate asks for help.

This decision is part of the PDP’s strategic plan in Bayelsa. The party aims to build support for Tinubu’s bid for a second term through the Rainbow Coalition.
