George Turnah Appointed Caretaker Committee Chairman: Commits to Reforms, Enhanced Welfare, and Stakeholder Engagement

George Turnah, the South South Zonal Secretary of the People’sDemocraticParty, has accepted his role as the newly appointed Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the People’s Democratic Party in Bayelsa State. Embracing this responsibility with humility, Turnah vowed to implement substantial reforms and improve the welfare package for members of the State Working Committee, Local Government, and Ward Executives.

While expressing gratitude to the National Vice Chairman of the Party in the South South, Chief Dan Osi Orbih, and the South South Zonal Working Committee for the trust placed in him, Turnah assured that he would carry out his responsibilities with utmost respect, humility, and sincerity. He emphasized that his primary focus would be to reposition the Party to secure victories in all elections in Bayelsa State in 2027.

The new Party leader indicated that he would consult with stakeholders regarding the need for a more suitable state Secretariat for the Party, assuring that he would not be operating from the Super Lodge in Government House, Yenagoa, where his predecessor had been based for the past five years. Turnah noted that operating from within the Government House lodge would restrict his accessibility to Party members seeking his attention on a daily basis.

He also emphasized that his leadership will prioritize increased engagement and consultation with stakeholders while fostering discipline within the Party. He pledged to maintain an open-door policy aimed at uniting the Party and enhancing collaboration among its members.
