Bayelsa State Governor Senator Douye Diri has launched the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign for the 2027 elections. The event took place at the party’s office in Yenagoa, where Diri appointed Chief Robert Enogha Ayalla as General Secretary and Chief Timi Alaibe as Chairman of the Campaign Advisory Council.

The council includes party leaders and stakeholders who will oversee the campaigns for President Bola Tinubu and other APC candidates in the National Assembly and House of Assembly elections. APC State Chairman Hon. Warman Ogoriba expressed confidence in the selected team, stating they have the experience needed to win.

Ogoriba emphasized the importance of unity within the party, warning that any divisions could be exploited by the opposition. He urged council members to stay focused on their goals.

In addition to Ayalla and Alaibe, several other key figures were appointed to various positions within the campaign council. Governor Diri will also coordinate the presidential campaign in the state.

During the launch, Ayalla thanked the governor and party leaders for their trust in him and promised that the campaign team would work hard to achieve their goals. He highlighted the team’s capability and commitment to delivering results.

Governor Diri set a target of at least one million votes for President Tinubu in Bayelsa, citing the state’s growing voting strength. He pointed to various achievements of the president, including infrastructure projects and federal appointments, as points to promote during the campaign.

Diri also mentioned the need for unity and cooperation within the party, urging members to focus on the collective success of the APC in all elections, not just the presidential race. He stressed that the campaign should be based on issues rather than personal attacks.
