“God Will Intervene for PDP in 2027” — Bayelsa PDP Chairman George Turnah Declares After Election
The newly elected chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bayelsa State, George Turnah, has expressed confidence that divine intervention will ultimately favour the party in the 2027 general election cycle.
Turnah, who emerged as chairman of the faction aligned with Nyesom Wike, maintained that despite internal turbulence confronting the PDP, the party remains politically viable and determined to reclaim power from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

PulseNets learnt that the newly elected chairman also urged party leaders and grassroots members across Bayelsa to close ranks and rebuild unity ahead of the next electoral cycle.
According to him, the PDP has already positioned itself strategically to regain full control of the state’s governance architecture.
“We thank our delegates, the panel and INEC observers, I like to accept this mandate, on behalf my team, members of the newly elected State Working Committee and myself, we say we are delighted to take this mandate as a sacred mandate of our people given to us freely and we will not betray this confidence that you have all reposed in us.
We will work with all our hearts, in line with the oath of office that we have just taken before you today,” he added.
Observers from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) monitored the exercise that produced the new state leadership of the PDP, while party stakeholders expressed optimism that the new executive would reposition the party ahead of future electoral contests.
