Senator Emmanuel Paulker, a prominent figure in Bayelsa politics, has expressed his unwavering allegiance to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). During a meeting with party leaders, Paulker affirmed his commitment to the party, stating that he will remain with them and not leave. Known for his loyalty since 1998, Paulker pledged his support for the party's resurgence.
He called for unity among party leaders and members, urging them to focus on reconciliation and address internal challenges. Paulker believes that the PDP will bounce back to power in Bayelsa, and he encourages all members to stay committed to the party's success. The party's state chairman, Hon. Chief Alabh George Turnah, praised Paulker as a founding pillar of the PDP in Bayelsa, highlighting his contributions to the party's growth and the state's political development.
In light of this, the party leadership has decided to shift full responsibility for the campaigns of its National Assembly candidates to the candidates themselves. This decision was made at a State Working Committee meeting, aligning with the directive from the party's national leader, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike. The candidates are now expected to take charge of their campaigns, engage with communities across the state, and intensify their efforts.
While the party will remain available for guidance and support, the National Assembly candidates are advised to proceed independently with their campaigns.
