Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party, according to a post on Facebook by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Daniel Alabrah.
Alabrah said the governor resigned from the PDP with the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Abraham Ingobere, along with all the PDP members in the state legislature.
Diri’s resignation from the PDP brings to an end months of speculation over his alleged move to the All Progressives Congress, but Alabrah did not state the political party he will join.
This newspaper gathered that the governor made the announcement on Wednesday during the weekly State Executive Council meeting inside Government House, Yenagoa.
