Bayelsa Governor Douye Diri to Join APC Ahead of 2027 Elections
Bayelsa Governor Douye Diri is poised to officially join the APC, making him the fourth PDP governor to defect in preparation for the 2027 elections. His move follows a trend of political realignment in the South-South zone, signaling a potential shift in the region's political landscape.
Diri's defection comes amidst a wave of defections rocking the PDP, with Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah also defecting. Despite earlier reports, Governor Adelek has expressed loyalty to the PDP amid these political shifts.
