Bayelsa State APC chairman Warman Ogoriba says President Bola Tinubu has performed well and should seek re-election. Speaking in Yenagoa on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, Ogoriba argues that the current administration’s policies and development efforts justify continued support despite criticism from opposition parties. He dismisses calls for Tinubu to resign, saying criticism is a normal part of democracy and that focus should remain on government projects and whether Nigerians continue to benefit from state policies.
Ogoriba highlights infrastructure and road networks as key areas of progress, pointing specifically to a coastal road project. He also addresses cost-of-living concerns by saying that while prices have risen, salaries have increased and more money is circulating in the economy. He links this to savings from subsidy removal and higher allocations to states, adding that Tinubu challenges governors to explain how additional funds are used.
He further plays down worries about opposition gains in Bayelsa, stating that APC remains the dominant party in the state and that campaigning will emphasize achievements rather than rivalry.
