The All Progressive Congress (APC), Bayelsa chapter, has formally adopted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as its sole presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections.
The party announced the decision in a communique issued at the end of Tuesday’s APC 12th Expanded Stakeholders Meeting in Yenagoa.
APC attributed the endorsement to the Tinubu administration’s transformative projects and policies.
According to the communique, he has achieved incredible feats in various sectors and appointed Bayelsa people into various positions.
“This is exemplified by his administration’s backing of a South-South Senate President, the signing of the South-South Development Commission Act.
”The large-scale infrastructure investments like the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, which stakeholders believe are poised to unlock the region’s economic potential,” the communique read.
Leaders at the meeting commended the President’s economic reforms and governance agenda, describing them as critical to repositioning Nigeria for sustainable growth.
They argued that continuing with Tinubu beyond 2027 was essential for consolidating gains already made and accelerating ongoing projects directly beneficial to the region.
On his part, Bayelsa APC Chairman, Dennis Otiotio, said that the essence of the meeting was to appraise the performance of the President, if he had done well to adopt him as their sole candidate come 2027.
He said that the President had done well for Bayelsa people by appointing various Bayelsa indigenes into various positions, among others.
Former Governor of Bayelsa, Timipre Sylva, said he was happy that the national leadership in Bayelsa APC was united for the forthcoming election.
According to him, “Bayelsa APC is stronger than any other APC anywhere and commended the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) for all their support to see that the party is strong and still standing tall in Bayelsa.”
