Bayelsa Governor Douye Diri Resigns from PDP, Sparking Speculation of Mass Defections
Bayelsa Governor Douye Diri has officially resigned from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) amid political realignments, with speculations of a significant shift in the state's political landscape. The resignation, announced during a meeting at the Bayelsa State Government House, comes shortly after Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah's defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
This move by Diri has raised concerns about a potential mass exodus from PDP in Bayelsa State, setting the stage for broader realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
