The chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State, Hon. Warman Weri Ogoriba, has rejected the relevance of the emerging “Rainbow Coalition” in the state, insisting that the state chapter of the party has the numbers, structures, organisation and grassroots support to secure victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all officially nominated APC candidates in the 2027 general elections.
Rainbow Coalition is reportedly a political platform spearheaded by Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, himself a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Ogoriba, in a statement today, maintained that the APC in Bayelsa State remains focused, united and firmly positioned at the grassroots, with structures spread across the eight local government areas and political wards of the state, reports Daily Independent.
According to him, the party would not be distracted by political alliances outside its established structure, stressing that the APC would continue to consolidate its membership base, strengthen internal unity and deepen grassroots mobilisation ahead of next year’s polls.
“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.
“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,” he said.
He urged APC members and supporters across the state to remain united and focused, assuring them that the party’s leadership would continue to engage stakeholders and mobilise support in every community.
The Bayelsa APC leadership, according to him, remains committed to strengthening the party’s structures and working collectively towards the success of President Bola Tinubu and all its candidates in the forthcoming elections.
