Bayelsa Governor Douye Diri Resigns from PDP Amid Political Shifts
Bayelsa Governor Douye Diri has officially resigned from the People's Democratic Party (PDP), marking a significant development in Nigeria's political landscape. His departure comes amidst a series of political shifts in the region, with 23 members of the state House of Assembly publicly endorsing his decision.
Diri's resignation has raised questions about the future political alignment in Bayelsa, especially following the recent defection of Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Diri, who assumed office in February 2020, has not disclosed which political party he intends to join next.
