Bayelsa Governor Diri Set to Join APC Amid Delay and Political Tension
Bayelsa State Governor, Diri, is set to defect from the PDP to the APC, with reports suggesting a delay in the announcement due to negotiations with key party leaders like Timipre Sylva and Heineken Lokpobiri. The move has heightened political tensions in Bayelsa, with the PDP expressing betrayal concerns.
However, APC chieftains hint at an imminent formalization of Diri's defection. The delay is attributed to internal challenges, including the involvement of former President Goodluck Jonathan's political camp.
APC leadership is reportedly awaiting an agreed date for Diri's entry into the party.
