Former House of Representatives member Israel Sunny‑Goli expressed optimism that Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri will soon join the All Progressives Congress (APC). He made the remark during an interview on Channels Television’s *Politics Today* program, which was monitored by Media Talk Africa. Sunny‑Goli argued that Governor Diri’s leadership style and development initiatives align with the APC’s progressive agenda, making him a natural fit for the party.
Sunny‑Goli praised Diri’s competence, capability and sincerity, pointing to the numerous projects currently underway in Bayelsa as evidence of effective leadership. He said these qualities would enable the governor to become a “strong finisher,” surpassing the achievements of his predecessors.
The governor announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday at the Bayelsa State Government House. While he did not disclose his reasons for leaving the PDP or outline his future political plans, speculation about a possible move to the APC has been ongoing. Sunny‑Goli’s comments suggest that the APC is eager to welcome Diri, given his track record and leadership style.
Governor Diri’s departure from the PDP has sparked widespread interest in his next political move, with many awaiting an announcement of the party he will join. In the broader context of Nigerian politics, a shift to the APC could have significant implications for both Bayelsa State and the national political landscape. As the situation develops, observers expect Diri to soon clarify his future plans, which will shape the evolving political dynamics in Bayelsa and beyond.
