The New Associates (TNA), a pro-President Bola Tinubu political group, has stepped up its preparations for its mega rally billed for Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital, early next month.
According to the group, the mega rally is in honour of President Tinubu and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
The lead convener and the leader, TNA Bayelsa Stre chapter, George Turner, said the group was poised to make a bold statement of solidarity and appreciation to President Tinubu and Wike for their invaluable contributions to Bayelsa State through human development in terms of appointments.
He said key appointments to be celebrated include that of the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Dr Sam Ogbuku, and the Minister of State, Petroleum (Oil), Senator Heineken Lokpobiri.
Turnah noted that Tinubu and Wike have facilitated the appointment of prominent Bayelsans into positions of authority in the Federal Government of Nigeria.
He further stated that through the appointments, credible Bayelsans have been empowered to also contribute their quota to the development of Bayelsa, Niger Delta and Nigeria in general.
“The group will hold a grand inauguration ceremony and mega rally to express its gratitude for the appointment of notable Bayelsa sons and daughters into key positions in the Federal Government of Nigeria.
“This event is a proof to the group’s appreciation for the President’s and Minister’s efforts in empowering Bayelsa indigenes.
‘’The inauguration and mega rally promise to be a vibrant celebration of unity, progress, and recognition of the contributions of Bayelsa’s finest to the nation’s growth and development.”
Turnah again reiterated that the groups’ intentions were noble and a demonstration of the appreciation spirit of the Ijaw people.
