A support group in the Bayelsa chapter of All Progressives Congress, (APC) on Tuesday said it was working to ensure that the party re-enacts its winning streak in the 2023 polls.
The group under the auspices of the Pastor Reuben Initiative for Good Leadership and Accountability (PRIFGLA) also said it remains committed to drumming support for the party to retain the presidency.
The founder of the group, Pastor Reuben Wilson disclosed this to newsmen in a parley with wards, constituency, local government and state executives and elders of the advisory council in Yenagoa, Bayelsa.
He said that to achieve victory for APC in the presidential elections, the group plans to inaugurate coordinators in the six states of the South-South.
Wilson said the initiative had been registered as an APC support group and the Ahmed Tinubu campaign office to work for the forthcoming general elections, adding that members of the group must work to justify the confidence the national leadership had in the initiative before approving the registration.
According to him, the Bayelsa leadership of PRIFGLA will soon embark on a visit to the other five states of the South-South to educate and sensitise would-be members on the mission, and objective of the initiative before the inauguration.
He urged members of the initiative to be true to the mission and objective to retain power at the centre, reclaim the lost mandate in Bayelsa and bring peace and unity in the APC fold.
According to him, members of PRIFGLA must go from door to door to galvanize support for the victory of APC at the Presidential, senatorial, house of representatives and Assembly elections.
Wilson called on the various coordinators to at all times relate with the state executive by bringing their challenges, and share ideas in order to move the initiative forward, pointing out that information on what is happening at the wards, LG and senatorial levels is key but however noted that what would be uppermost in the hearts of members is to deliver Bayelsa for APC.
He further urged members who had every reason to feel dissatisfied with the outcome of the recently concluded party primaries to jettison whatever ill-feeling they have but rather unite work from Unit to Unit, ward to ward to ensure the victory of all APC candidates and preach the gospel of PRIFGLA to everyone in the state.
On the peace moves to unite leaders of Bayelsa APC that had differences and camps, the Director-General of PRIFGLA, Dr Solomon David maintained that the initiative is optimistic that at the end of the day the various leaders of camps within the APC are all in talking terms and assured that so far about 70 per cent has been achieved by PRIFGLA, insisting that before the election 100 per cent peace will be in the party.
David noted that dedication and commitment to ensure that victory is achieved collectively at the presidential, governorship, senatorial, house of representatives and Assembly elections is sacrosanct as these must be the watchword of every member of the initiative in order to succeed together.
