Dickson Accuses Diri of Betraying Bayelsa to APC
Former Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, has accused his successor, Governor Douye Diri, of surrendering Bayelsa to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and warned that Diri would face political consequences in 2027. Dickson, who is the national leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), made these allegations during a political visit to his community, Toru-Orua, alongside the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and other leaders.
He claimed that Diri had sacrificed the interests of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for personal political ambitions, stating, “You have surrendered Bayelsa to APC. You have sold Bayelsa to APC and you will pay for it in 2027.” Dickson emphasized that the residents of Bayelsa would resist any attempts to shift their political support to the APC.
He also expressed his intention to collaborate with other PDP leaders and loyalists of former President Goodluck Jonathan to reclaim the state in 2027.
