A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party in Bayelsa State associated with the Rainbow Coalition has endorsed President Bola Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election following a meeting of party officials in Yenagoa.
According to the supplied account, a memorandum supporting the endorsement was presented at an expanded state caucus and State Executive Committee meeting. The gathering also passed a vote of confidence in Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, whom the faction described as a central figure in its political alignment.
State chairman George Alabh Turnah criticized the Bayelsa government’s handling of public expenditure, healthcare, agriculture and development projects. He called for disclosure of spending on the state’s thirtieth anniversary celebrations and raised questions about the cost and priorities of infrastructure investments.
These criticisms are allegations and political assessments made by Turnah; the supplied report does not contain a response from the Bayelsa State Government or independently verified financial records. The endorsement should be attributed to the participating Bayelsa PDP group rather than presented as a position established for every PDP member in the state.
