The Tinubu Support Group (TSG) in Bayelsa State has thrown down the gauntlet ahead of the 2027 general election, declaring that the state will deliver ‘bulk votes’ to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Rising from its maiden meeting at the weekend, the pioneer leadership of the group said it was mobilising across political, ethnic and social divides to ensure a decisive victory for the President in Bayelsa.
A statement signed by the Bayelsa State’s Director of Media, TSG, Engr. Udengs Eradiri, said that the mission to return Tinubu for a second term was both patriotic and in the public interest.
The statement listed members of the TSG Bayelsa State’s Executive Committee as Engr. Preye Aganaba, State Coordinator; Bar. Edi Orubo, Deputy State Coordinator; Hon. Enaikada Omemu, Secretary; Hon. Amalanyo Yosou, Bayelsa East; Hon.Patrick Ekade, Bayelsa West and Dr Doodei Weeks, Bayelsa Central.
Others are Hon. Favour Emmanuel, Director of Women; Hon. Nunieh Odede, Director of Youths; Hon. Lori Ogoro, Director PLWDS; Edison Sorgwe, Director Ethnic Affairs; Joseph Fafi, Director of Logistics and Udengs Eradiri, Director of Media.
Eradiri, a former President of the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide, said the TSG, under the leadership of grassroots politician, Engr. Preye Aganaba, would take the achievements of the Tinubu administration to every community in the state.
He described Aganaba as a grassroots mobiliser with the political reach, depth and community appeal to rally stakeholders behind the 2027 re-election project.
‘Our target is nothing but total victory. And at the end of the day, we will ensure that Bayelsa delivers bulk votes to President Tinubu in 2027,’ he said.
Eradiri said the TSG belonged to all Bayelsans and would work with Governor Douye Diri and the various leadership structures of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to secure what he described as a deserving victory for Tinubu.
