The Bayelsa State chapter of the Tinubu-Shettima Independent
Campaign Council (ICC) has launched a door-to-door, hamlet-to-hamlet and
neighbourhood-to-neighbourhood (DDHHNN) campaign for the All Progressives
Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his
running mate, Kashim Shettima.
The state chairman of the council, Prince Preye Aganaba,
said the unique approach was initiated to spread the gospel of Tinubu’s
competence, capacity, fitness and experience to all the nooks and crannies of
Bayelsa.
Speaking at the weekend when he led members of the state ICC
to visit a former Bayelsa deputy governor, Werinipre Seibarugu in Yenagoa,
Aganaba said the campaign approach would also help to correct misinformation,
half-truths and outright lies against Tinubu.
He said their findings discovered that persons against
Tinubu had not come to know him personally and only depended on lies told them
by opposition political leaders.
Aganaba said: “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.”
Aganaba explained that the ICC was formed to complement the
efforts of the party’s Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) with a mandate to
solicit votes at the grassroots and sensitise voters to increase the APC
support base.
He said: “The Bayelsa State secretariat of the
Tinubu/Shettima Grassroots Independent Campaign Council is up and running with
state and ward coordinators already inaugurated.
“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.
Aganaba said the APC had been blessed with a presidential
candidate “who is savvy in governance with a plethora of outstanding projects
to point at,” describing Tinubu as easy to sell.
He said: “APC aims to capture more states and win more seats
at the Senate, House of Representatives and state house of assemblies in the
2023 general elections and the ICC will complement that effort with a vigorous
grassroots campaign for the Tinubu/Shettima ticket.”
