The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, has announced that the people of Bayelsa East senatorial district are united in their support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027. This was made known during a pre-campaign sensitisation tour organised by the Bayelsa East Renewed Hope Movement, which Ogbuku patronises. The tour, which covered Nembe, Brass, and Ogbia Local Government Areas, demonstrated remarkable unity and cooperation among APC leaders, stakeholders, and supporters.
The Bayelsa East Renewed Hope Movement's four-day tour was attended by prominent party leaders and stakeholders, including former Deputy Governor Admiral Gboribiogha Jonah (Rtd) and Chairman of the Bayelsa State Presidential Campaign Council, Hon. Robert Enogha Ayalla. The tour aimed to strengthen and unify the people ahead of the 2027 elections. Dr. Ogbuku noted that the impressive participation throughout the tour reflected a shared determination to build a formidable political structure across the nine state constituencies, two federal constituencies, and one senatorial district.
Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, represented by his deputy, Dr. Peter Akpe, urged members of APC across the state to intensify grassroots mobilisation to ensure that no opposition political party secures 25 per cent of the votes in the 2027 Presidential and National Assembly elections. The governor commended political leaders and stakeholders in Bayelsa East for embracing reconciliation and sustaining peace, describing unity as essential to the political and developmental progress of the state.
Dr. Ogbuku described the successful completion of the movement's four-day pre-campaign sensitisation tour as a major step towards strengthening APC unity and grassroots mobilisation in Bayelsa East ahead of the 2027 general elections. He reaffirmed the collective commitment of the movement to the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, noting that the impressive participation throughout the tour reflected a shared determination to build a formidable political structure.
The NDDC boss expressed delight at participating in the exercise alongside prominent party leaders and stakeholders. He particularly acknowledged Governor Douye Diri for commending the restoration of peace and political harmony in Bayelsa East. According to Ogbuku, the Governor's recognition of the renewed cooperation among political leaders underscores the importance of dialogue, reconciliation, and collective responsibility in promoting peace and development.
Dr. Ogbuku identified the unity and shared sense of purpose demonstrated by political leaders and stakeholders across the three local government areas as the greatest achievement of the tour. He maintained that sustainable development thrives in an atmosphere of peace, stability, and cooperation, urging party members and stakeholders to sustain the spirit of reconciliation, strengthen grassroots structures, and remain committed to constructive political engagement.
Dr. Ogbuku emphasised that Bayelsa East is united and speaking with one voice, with unity, reconciliation, collective responsibility, and sustained support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remaining the movement's guiding principles as the 2027 general elections approach. The movement's pre-campaign sensitisation tour provided an opportunity to engage directly with the people, listen to their concerns, and highlight the Federal Government's development interventions under President Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda.
