Dickson Accuses Diri of Betraying PDP in Bayelsa
Seriake Dickson, the national leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), accused Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri of betraying the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by allegedly surrendering the state to the All Progressives Congress (APC) for his personal political ambitions ahead of the 2027 elections. Dickson made these remarks during a political visit to his home community, Toru-Orua, accompanied by the NDC’s presidential candidate Peter Obi and the Director-General of the NDC National Campaign Council, Mallam Ibrahim Abdulkarim.
He reminded Diri that the PDP had granted him the governorship ticket twice and asserted that he and other PDP leaders, including loyalists of former President Goodluck Jonathan, would work together to reclaim Bayelsa in 2027. Dickson stated, “You have surrendered Bayelsa to APC.
You have sold Bayelsa to APC and you will pay for it in 2027,” emphasizing that the people of Bayelsa would resist Diri’s actions.
