Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has reportedly dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, alongside 23 members of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly.
The magazine reported earlier that Diri and the governor of Taraba state, Kefas Agbu have perfected plans to move into the APC.
The development, announced in a Facebook post by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Daniel Alabrah, marks one of the most significant political realignments in the state in recent years.
Diri’s defection comes barley 24 hours after Enugu state governor, Peter Mbah defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, from the PDP.
The number of APC governors is expected to swell to 26 with Diri’s defection.
