APC Defends Governor Diri Against PDP's Loyalty Claims

The Bayelsa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has countered allegations from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) regarding Governor Douye Diri's commitment to President Bola Tinubu's re-election campaign. APC chairman Warman Weri Ogoriba described the claims made by PDP chairman George Turnah as baseless.

Turnah had questioned Diri's involvement in Tinubu's campaign, citing a lack of evidence such as attendance at key events and community mobilization efforts. He challenged supporters of Tinubu to demonstrate their commitment through visible actions.

In response, Ogoriba asserted that Diri's public statements and actions indicate strong support for Tinubu's re-election. He dismissed Turnah's claims, stating it is unreasonable to suggest Diri is not backing the President's campaign, emphasizing that Diri has been involved with the City Boys Movement, a support group for Tinubu.
