A former member of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, Israel Sunny-Goli, has expressed optimism that Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri will soon join the All Progressives Congress (APC). Sunny-Goli made this statement during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today program, which was monitored by Media Talk Africa.

According to Sunny-Goli, Governor Diri’s leadership style and development initiatives align with the APC’s progressive agenda, making him a potential addition to the party. Sunny-Goli praised Governor Diri’s competence, capability, and sincerity, citing the various projects underway in the state as evidence of his effective leadership. He noted that these qualities would make Governor Diri a strong finisher, surpassing the achievements of his predecessors.

This development comes after Governor Diri announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday at the Bayelsa State Government House. Although he did not disclose his reasons for leaving the PDP or his future political plans, speculation has been ongoing about his potential move to the APC.

Sunny-Goli’s statement suggests that the APC is eager to have Governor Diri on board, given his track record and leadership style. The governor’s decision to leave the PDP has sparked interest in his next political move, with many awaiting his announcement on which party he will join.

In the context of Nigerian politics, Governor Diri’s potential move to the APC could have significant implications for the state and national political landscape. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen which party Governor Diri will ultimately join and how this will impact the political dynamics in Bayelsa State and beyond.

With Governor Diri’s resignation from the PDP and potential move to the APC, the political landscape in Bayelsa State is likely to undergo significant changes. As the story continues to develop, it is expected that Governor Diri will soon announce his next steps, providing clarity on his future political plans and their potential implications for the state and national politics.
