Bayelsa Governor Douye Diri and Lawmakers Resign from PDP, Confirming Reports

Bayelsa Governor Douye Diri and Bayelsa State Assembly lawmakers have resigned from the People's Democratic Party (PDP), confirming previous reports. The resignations come amidst a wave of defections to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nigeria.

Governor Diri expressed gratitude for the support received and hinted at building a stronger Bayelsa and Nigeria. The move follows similar defections by other governors, including Peter Mbah of Enugu, signaling a major political realignment ahead of the next general elections.

Reports suggest a growing trend of politicians leaving the PDP for the APC, with former President Goodluck Jonathan seeking alliances with the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
