The All Progressives Congress in Bayelsa State has expressed confidence in its grassroots structures across the state ahead of the 2027 general elections, saying its membership and network remain strong enough to prosecute its campaigns.

The state chairman of the party, Warman Weri Ogoriba, stated this in a statement on Saturday while reacting to recent political realignments ahead of the 2027 elections.

Ogoriba said the APC had established structures across the eight local government areas and political wards, stressing that the party would focus on strengthening its organisation and mobilising voters ahead of the elections.

His comments came amid the emergence of the “Rainbow Coalition” and a claim by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, that he had the political structures to deliver Rivers and Bayelsa states for President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

The APC chairman said the party would remain focused on its internal structures and continue to engage stakeholders and expand its membership across the state.

n

He said, “The task before the party is to remain organised, disciplined and committed to the collective objective of advancing the APC and supporting its candidates at all levels.

n

“We are confident that the combination of the party’s existing structures, committed members, stakeholders and grassroots networks would provide the foundation for a strong electoral campaign in 2027.”

n

Ogoriba urged party members and supporters to remain united and committed, assuring them that the state leadership would continue to mobilise support across communities.

n

He also reaffirmed the commitment of the APC leadership in Bayelsa to supporting Tinubu and other party candidates in the 2027 elections.
