The Chairman, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Campaign Council for Bayelsa election and governor of Taraba State, Agbu Kefas, believes the party will retain the state come the November 11 election.
He said this at a meeting of the council on Thursday in Abuja.
He said, “Our campaign is not merely a quest for power but a commitment to transformative leadership that fosters growth, equity and unity.
“Bayelsa’s potential is limitless and we stand at the crossroad of history waiting to shape a trajectory. Our Campaign will be driven by the voices of the people and our policies will reflect their aspiration.
“Governor Douye Diri promises to prioritise education, health care, infrastructure, job creation, youth and women empowerment and also sustainable development as the corner stone of his agenda.
“Our success will not be defined by victory at the polls, but by the trust we have built over time and the positive impact we have made in the lives of Bayelsa people.’’
The state PDP Campaign Council Chairman, tasked his members to work in synergy towards a successful outing at the poll.
He said, “Let us remember that unity is our strength. Let us foster an environment of collaboration where innovative ideas flourish and define our strategies.’’
The PDP candidate in the election and incumbent governor, Diri who expressed confidence that the party would be victorious, said the factor or issue of federal might would not work in the election.
He said, “I am not very sure that even the federal might that we used to know of, I am not sure that there will be any federal might for a candidate that has been roundly rejected by the people.
“The Federal Government is also not a government that will be anti-democracy. The Federal Government will stand to defend democracy.
“We are in a democratic system and I believe that if we work well and do not take it for granted, we have already won. It is not over until it is over.”
Governor Diri said although Bayelsa was a PDP stronghold, the campaign council should not undermine the threat posed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
He said, “In Bayelsa I will like to let you know that this election is across party line. So we are not going there to deride APC.’’
