PDP Criticizes Diri on 2027 Elections Incumbency Claims

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has responded critically to comments made by Governor Douye Diri regarding the upcoming 2027 elections in Bayelsa State. The PDP warned that the power of incumbency, as suggested by Diri, will not prevail against the collective will of the people.

Ikaebimo Mark, the PDP's Public Secretary in Bayelsa, stated that the party is deeply rooted in the hearts of the Bayelsan people, who have shared struggles and sacrifices for the development of the Ijaw nation. The PDP reminded that no incumbent can withstand the determination of the people without genuine grassroots support, referencing the political history of Nigeria.

The party expressed its unwavering commitment to progress and justice, emphasizing that the upcoming elections will reflect the unity and resolve of the electorate against any threats posed by incumbency.
