A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Kojo Sam, on Thursday led members of the APC Believers Family on a two-day sensitisation tour of communities in Nembe and Brass Local Government Areas of Bayelsa State, urging residents to support the re-election of President Bola Tinubu.
The team visited Agrisaba, Ikensi, Okoroba, Oluasiri, Obioku, Okoroma, Ewelesuo, Nembe Creek, Fantuo and Odioma. Large crowds of party supporters and voters received the APC leaders in the communities.
Speaking during the tour, Sam, who is Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Labrador Security Services and Kojo Sam Logistics, said Tinubu deserved a second term because of projects executed in the area through the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
“As grassroots politicians, we are about to enter a campaign and an election. Hence, we need to go around and sensitise our people in the rural areas to talk to them about the need to re-elect President Bola Tinubu,” he said.
“President Tinubu has done well for Bayelsa and the Niger Delta region through the Niger Delta Development Commission. Our son, Dr Sam Ogbuku, is the Managing Director, and he has been implementing the vision of President Tinubu for the region through development projects.
“Today, if you go to some of our communities, you will see that the communities have been lit up by the NDDC. This is one of the reasons that APC chieftains in these communities are very happy and are ready to give 100 per cent votes to President Tinubu.”
Sam advised opposition parties not to waste time campaigning in Nembe and Brass, saying the people were fully behind the President’s re-election bid.
He also urged residents to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Former APC chairman in the state, Dr Dennis Otiotio, said the tour was aimed at securing a firm commitment from the communities.
“We have just concluded a tour of communities in Nembe and Brass Local Government Areas. We are the APC Believers Family, led by Dr Kojo Sam and several other leaders of the party.
“We have gone around the communities in Brass and Nembe Local Government Areas with a simple message to discuss with them ahead of the APC campaigns.
“We are here to enter into a covenant with them to support the APC. The people overwhelmingly accepted us and agreed to vote for the APC,” Otiotio said.
