Kenneth Okonkwo Urges INEC to Declare Bayelsa Governor's Seat Vacant After PDP Resignation

Nollywood actor and ADC chieftain Kenneth Okonkwo has urged INEC to declare the seat of Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri vacant after his resignation from the PDP. Diri resigned from the party during a meeting with state lawmakers, citing reasons undisclosed.

Okonkwo argues that Diri's resignation from the PDP automatically nullifies his governorship tenure as per the constitution. He calls for a swift declaration of vacancy and fresh gubernatorial elections within 90 days.

Notably, Diri's deputy, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, was absent from the meeting.
