Rights activist Usman explains how data, strategy propelled Gov Diri to victory

The recently-concluded Bayelsa governorship election, held on November 11, saw the re-election of Governor Douye Diri of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

His emergence, according to stakeholders, reveals the meticulous data mining, strategic planning, and deliberate policies orchestrated by CellHub’s Managing Director, Mr. Idris Usman and his team. According to Usman, the aforementioned factors played a pivotal role in “the remarkable victory.”

With unwavering dedication and a profound understanding of the Bayelsa political landscape, Mr. Usman utilised his expertise to usher Governor Douye Diri to another term in office.

The comprehensive data analysis and strategic insights provided by CellHub were key in identifying constituents’ needs, mapping voter behavior, and establishing the most effective campaign strategies.

Months of effort and diligent research unfolded into a masterful campaign that appealed to the aspirations and concerns of the people of Bayelsa.

Usman said by leveraging on in-depth data analytics at CellHub,
Governor Diri’s re-election was made easy.

“Moreover, CellHub’s deliberate policies, designed to enhance voter engagement and mobilisation, further contributed to the resounding success of Governor Diri’s campaign.

“By implementing innovative communication strategies, targeted messaging, and inclusive community outreach initiatives, CellHub magnified Governor Diri’s vision, solidifying his position as the people’s choice.

“The undeniable impact of CellHub’s data-driven approach, combined with my astute leadership, have ultimately resulted in an impressive electoral triumph, affirming the governorship of Douye Diri as a testament to the strategic excellence exemplified by CellHub.

“This data l-driven approach by CellHub, was enhanced by the land achievements of the Diri administration in the State, in the areas of unprecedented infrastructural revolution, human capacity development and most significantly the ability of Governor Diri to make Bayelsa State one of Nigeria’s most peaceful, despite the desperate antics of his opponents to create tension and instigate violence in the build up to the election.

“As an organisation committed to utilising cutting-edge data analysis and strategic planning, CellHub is ecstatic to have played such an instrumental role in the re-election of Governor Douye Diri.

“This success not only reaffirms CellHub’s expertise in political campaign management, but also underscores our unwavering dedication to supporting clients in achieving their goals. It is also important to mention,” Usman explained.

Continuing, Usman said “before the recent engagement in the reelection project of Governor Diri, I’d made significant impacts in political campaigns through data and grassroots strategies.

“I was a director in the first of its kind citizens driven campaign in Nigeria, that is “Neighbour to Neighbour” which played a pivotal role in the election of President Goodluck Jonathan in 2011, to my involvement as a then core follower of former President Muhammadu Buhari, where I actively participated in the activities that gave birth to the APC, through the merger of the defunct CPC, CAN and others in 2014.

“Moving forward, CellHub remains steadfast in its commitment to empowering political leaders with the tools and knowledge needed to secure victories and effect meaningful change.”
