The Bayelsa State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has unveiled a N20m palace project for the traditional ruler of Elebele Community in Ogbia Local Government Area as it moves to consolidate support in the home community of former President Goodluck Jonathan ahead of the 2028 governorship election.
The State Chairman of the PDP, George Turnah, announced the project on Sunday during a reception organised for a former chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Gabriel Claudius, popularly known as “One Million Man,” and his supporters, who defected to the PDP.
Turnah said the intervention became necessary after party leaders visited the community and found the traditional ruler’s palace in a deplorable condition.
He disclosed that the party had already approved N20m for the project and directed that construction should begin immediately rather than waiting until election campaigns.
