PDP's Turnah Challenges APC's Claims for Tinubu's 2027 Win
George Turnah, the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bayelsa State, contested the assertion made by Warman Ogoriba, the state chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), regarding the APC's capability to secure victory for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. In a statement released by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communication, Kelvin Loveday-Egbo, Turnah referenced the voting results from the 2023 presidential election, where the PDP garnered 65,145 votes, compared to the Labour Party's 45,645 and the APC's 40,417.
He emphasized that the APC's claims should not overlook the significance of the Rainbow Coalition and the political support it could provide. Turnah urged the APC to adopt a realistic approach to the upcoming election, stressing that the PDP would continue to strengthen its structures and engage its members.
He called for a focus on critical issues affecting Bayelsans, such as development and security, as the election approaches.
