In a significant political move, all the local government chairmen in Bayelsa State, Nigeria, under the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), have resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to support Governor Douye Diri. The chairmen cited ongoing crises within the PDP as the reason for their collective resignation.

The resignations were announced during a press conference held at the ALGON secretariat in Yenagoa. Notable figures like Lelei Tariy Isaac, Hon. David Alagoa, and Hon. Target Isaiah Segibo were among those who resigned.

This development underscores the shifting political landscape in Bayelsa State.
