…assures President of 300,000 votes in Bayelsa
From Seyi Tayese, Yenagoa
The Rainbow Coalition, championed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared that without its support, President Bola Tinubu cannot win the presidential election in the state.
The Rainbow Coalition, which promised 300 000 votes to deliver President Bola Tinubu in Bayelsa State, challenged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to work towards securing 500,000 votes for the President to ensure Bayelsa delivers 800,000 votes.
The chairman of the PDP and leader of the Rainbow Coalition in Bayelsa State, Chief George Alabh Turnah, in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant ( SSA), Media and Communication, Kevin Loveday-Egbo, stated that the coalition is so formidable in Bayelsa.
Turnah, who outlined the Coalition’s grassroots engagement strategy, disclosed that the group’s intention is to take its message on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid to every community in Bayelsa State.
The Bayelsa PDP Chairman explained that the National Rainbow Coalition serves as the platform through which the group will engage undecided voters and present its assessment of the Tinubu administration’s performance.
According to him, the Federal Government under President Tinubu has recorded achievements that the Coalition believes merit public support.
Turnah also emphasised the Coalition’s dedication to grassroots mobilisation and community engagement, noting plans to expand its reach across Bayelsa State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
‘’ The Rainbow coalition has pledged 300,000 votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Bayelsa State. We are tasking the APC to deliver 500,000 votes to bring the total number of votes for the APC to 800,000 votes out of the one million, one hundred and fifty thousand Permanent Voter Cards collected in the state,’’ he said.
