Gov. Diri's Request Delays Defection to APC in Bayelsa State
Bayelsa State Governor, Gov. Diri's request for a delayed defection to the APC has stirred controversy.
The delay in his formal defection was due to his request for Vice President Kashim Shettima to hand him the party's flag in a formal reception. Despite announcing his exit from the PDP on October 15, Diri has not yet formally joined the APC.
Senior APC officials are making arrangements to welcome the governor into the party.
