Bayelsa Governor Douye Diri to Defect to APC Amid Party Rifts
Bayelsa Governor Douye Diri is reportedly planning to defect from the PDP to the APC on October 14, due to internal rifts within the Bayelsa APC and the PDP's crisis. The decision is influenced by consultations with key Bayelsa elders, including former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Sources reveal that several lawmakers are set to join him in the defection, including Senator Konbowei Benson. The move is seen as a strategic decision ahead of the 2023 elections.
