  "summary": "The Bayelsa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has responded to Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, regarding his claim of having the support and structures to deliver Bayelsa and Rivers states for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 election.\n\nAccording to the Daily Trust, the state APC chairman, Warman Weri Ogoriba, stated that the party has the structures and grassroots support to campaign for President Tinubu and the party's candidates in the 2027 elections. Ogoriba said the APC in Bayelsa is united and firmly rooted across the eight local government areas and political wards in the state.\n\nThe APC will focus on expanding its membership, strengthening internal unity, and deepening grassroots mobilisation ahead of the elections, rather than being distracted by external political alliances. The party is confident that its existing structures, committed members, stakeholders, and grassroots networks will provide a strong foundation for its electoral campaign in 2027.",
