Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State has reportedly resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), according to a report by Arise TV. He is said to be defecting along with 23 members of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly. This move follows a similar switch by Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah just a day prior. While specific details are still limited, it is anticipated that Governor Diri and the legislators will formally announce their defection to the APC soon. This development aligns with a recent trend of federal and state lawmakers moving from opposition parties to the APC in the lead-up to the 2027 general elections.
