In a surprising turn of events, Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has officially announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The move, confirmed by his Chief Press Secretary, Daniel Alabrah, marks a major political shift in the state’s leadership.
Governor Diri revealed his decision in a brief statement, saying, “Today, I have formally resigned my membership from the PDP for obvious reasons.”
According to reliable sources, 23 members of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly also tendered their resignations from the party, signaling a coordinated political realignment.

While the governor did not immediately disclose his next political direction, analysts believe this development could reshape the political landscape of Bayelsa ahead of upcoming elections.
Governor Diri, who has been a key figure in the PDP since his emergence as governor, has not hinted at joining any other political party, though speculation is rife about his possible next move.
This mass defection is one of the most significant political developments in the South-South region in recent months, with many observers describing it as a “turning point” for Bayelsa politics.
