Bayelsa(ICC) Begins Campaign For Tinubu
The Bayelsa independent Campaign Council (ICC) has began a door-to-door campaign for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate Kashim Shettima.
The Chairman of the council, Prince Preye Aganaba said that the intention for the campaign was to testify of Tinubu’s competence, capacity, fitness and experience in Bayelsa.
He also said that the campaign approach would also help to correct misinformation, half truth and outright lies against Tinubu.
He stated, “Our conviction springs from the fact that nobody will know the character, personality and competence of Tinubu without calling on him to lead this country. Nobody will know his qualities without falling in love with his leadership style”.
“We believe that people must be informed so that they will stop speaking and acting out of ignorance. That is why we believe that we must meet people one-on-one to help them understand the person of Asiwaju and join the winning train”.
He explained further that the ICC was formed to complement the efforts party’s Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) with a mandate to solicit votes at the grassroots and sensitise voters to increase APC support base.
“We are focused on increasing the healthy support base of our presidential candidate and canvassing for votes in the rural areas ahead of the February 25th Presidential and National Assembly elections.
“We have found out that persons against our candidate don’t really know him. They speak and act based on lies told them by mischief-makers. That is why we have launched the door-to-door, hamlet-to-hamlet and neighborhood-to-neighborhood (DDHHNN) campaign method to reach such persons”.
“It is our belief that nobody will know the personality, competence and experience of Asiwaju without falling in love with his aspiration to lead the country at this time. It is our duty to reach people with the truth and correct misinformation, lies and half truth against our candidate”.
He said: “APC aims to capture more states and win more seats at the Senate, House of Representatives and House of Assemblies in the 2023 general elections and the ICC will complement that effort with a vigorous grassroot campaign for Tinubu/Shettima ticket.”
