The Speaker of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Abraham Ngobere, along other PDP lawmakers, also tendered their resignation from the opposition party.

Governor Diri’s exit from the PDP comes 24 hours after his Enugu State counterpart, Peter Mbah, defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The Chief Press Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Daniel Alabrah has also confirmed the development in a post on his verified social media handle.
