The People Democratic Party (PDP)-led Rainbow Coalition in Bayelsa State has pledged to mobilise 300,000 votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections, insisting that its grassroots support would be crucial to securing his victory in the state.
The Bayelsa State PDP Chairman and leader of the Rainbow Coalition, Chief George Alabh Turnah, made the pledge in a statement issued on Tuesday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communication, Kevin Loveday-Egbo.
Turnah said the coalition would take its campaign for Tinubu’s re-election to communities across the state through an extensive grassroots mobilisation and engagement strategy.
He explained that the National Rainbow Coalition would serve as a platform for reaching undecided voters and presenting what it described as the achievements of the Tinubu administration.
According to him, the coalition believes the Federal Government has recorded significant achievements that deserve public support and would intensify efforts to communicate these to voters ahead of the 2027 elections.
Turnah also called on the All Progressives Congress (APC) to mobilise an additional 500,000 votes, bringing the projected total to 800,000 votes out of the 1.15 million Permanent Voter Cards collected in Bayelsa State.
“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 out of the one million, one hundred and fifty thousand Permanent Voter Cards collected in the state,” he said.
He reaffirmed the coalition’s commitment to expanding its grassroots presence across Bayelsa communities as political activities gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections.
