Breaking: Bayelsa PDP to commission new secretariat, hold state elective congress
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Bayelsa State is set to commission its new secretariat today.
The commissioning of the new secretariat became imperative following the sack of the Solomon Agwana-led State Working Committee in April 2025 and the abandonment of the old secretariat along Isaac Boro Expressway, Yenagoa.
The acting chairman of the caretaker committee of PDP in Bayelsa State, Hon Alabh George Turnah, will perform the commissioning of the new secretariat.
The opening of the secretariat is expected to be witnessed by party leaders in the state, including newly elected ward and local government executives of the party, women, and youth groups.
A statement by the acting state secretary of the party, Alfreder Ato, stated that the commissioning would precede the Bayelsa State Elective Congress.
She also disclosed that the inauguration and swearing in of all elected Ward, Local Government, and the State Executive Committee members would take place after the commissioning of the new state secretariat.
Ato enjoined all members of the party and Bayelsans to troop out to join the leadership of the party in celebrating a new dawn of PDP in Bayelsa state.
A source in the caretaker committee hinted that party stalwarts, including the national leader of the party, Nyesom Wike, the national chairman, Abdulrahman Mohammed, National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, and National Vice-Chairman, South- South, Chief Dan Orbih, are not expected in the state because of their involvement in preparations to ensure a befitting National Convention billed for Abuja on 29th and 30th of March.
The party had a peaceful and successful local government congress across the eight local government areas on Saturday, March 7, which produced eight local government chairmen of the party.
