Governor Diri of Bayelsa State Defects from PDP to APC, Citing Altruistic Motives

Governor Diri of Bayelsa State has revealed his decision to switch from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing altruistic motives and a desire to work with the ruling party. The move follows reports of his resignation from the PDP on November 3, 2025.

Governor Diri expressed his commitment to stabilizing the APC in Bayelsa State and aligning with the national platform. The political landscape in Enugu State is also witnessing a shift as more lawmakers defect to the APC, signaling a growing realignment ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Abdulrahman Moham has resumed as the acting national chairman of the PDP amidst internal party divisions and tensions.
