Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, has dismissed reports of a congress held in Calabar, stating that the national leadership rejected it and would set a new date.

Diri made this known on Monday during the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, State Executive Council, SEC meeting at the party’s secretariat in Yenagoa.

He stated: “Our party is thriving in Bayelsa State. We remain the party to beat. The PDP has never lost here. If you seek relevance, you should the PDP.

“The PDP in Bayelsa is united and cannot be weakened. This party produced a Nigerian president from our state. It has also produced governors and federal legislators.

“This party is strong at the state level and will remain so. Let us ignore rumours. Some aim to divide us, but they will not succeed.”

He clarified that no zonal congress took place in the South-South, adding that the national leadership, in consultation with zonal leaders, would determine a new date at the appropriate time.

The governor assured that PDP in Bayelsa remained intact and the best platform for politicians seeking to achieve their ambitions.

Diri reiterated that PDP had produced key office holders, including a former Nigerian president, and remained dominant in Bayelsa politics.

He urged to stay united and avoid distractions, emphasising the need for collective efforts to strengthen the party in the state.

Diri further explained that the South-South zonal congress, initially scheduled for 22nd February, was postponed by the National Working Committee.

He revealed that the decision followed a request from the four South-South governors, who informed the party’s leadership that the date was unsuitable.

Meanwhile, the people of Ogbia Local Government have apologised to the governor and the party for the actions of the suspended Zonal Legal Adviser, George Turnah.

Speaking at the meeting, Ogbia Constituency 3 representative, Gabriel Ogbara, said the apology was necessary, as betrayal was not in the character of the Ogbia people.

Ogbara described Turnah’s actions as regrettable and pleaded for forgiveness, reaffirming Ogbia’s loyalty to the party and its leadership.

The State Executive Council ed a vote of confidence in Diri and his deputy, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, affirming their leadership.

The motion was moved by Oforji Oboku, representing Yenagoa/Kolokuma/Opokuma Federal Constituency, and seconded by the State Assembly Leader, Monday Obolo.

Earlier, State PDP Chairman, Solomon Agwana, praised Diri’s istration, citing its numerous development projects across Bayelsa as evidence of good governance.

Agwana commended the governor for fostering unity within the party and urged continued for the istration to ensure further development in the state.

State PDP Secretary, Gesiye Isowo, also lauded Diri’s achievements, stating that his performance had made future election campaigns easier, given the many completed projects.

In attendance were the deputy governor and Ogbia Federal Constituency representative, Rep. Mitema Obordor.

Also present were former deputy governors Rear iral Gboribiogha John-Jonah (retd) and Werinipre Seibarugu, alongside PDP South-South Zonal Secretary, Prof. Felix Omemu.

Local government chairmen and other key party stakeholders also participated in the meeting.

And winning each time

Wike is a very very foolish person. Matter since 2023, he's still carrying in on his head.

Party is supreme. You can't organize south-south congress without the south south governors who are the leaders of the party the states.

Out of the 6 states in the south south, pdp controls 3 and apc 3 because river is apc as of today. So what can the pdp do.
As of today bayelsa pdp is the smallest state in Nigeria while river state is tge 3rd largest in Nigeria and 1st in South South.

In fact, the 3 states control by the PDP is not up to the half of the 3 controlled by the apc.

I am not an apc member, but this is the fact. Apc may win again in 2027 if care is not taking.

But who's wike to now bigger than PDP even with all his anti party activities can't he just be dismissed for good?

Someone in APC is running a faction of the PDP and even organising Congress for a geopolitical zone.. and you all cannot stand up to him?!🤔

That downfall you all are running from would still eventually consume all of you..

I don't see why a Wike hasn't been expelled from the party all these while let him fully the APC.. let those that believe in his principles go with him.. let him go with his money.. there is enough ground of anti-party to get him off the party.. even those that left the PDP in the past that he kept referring to, left with their full chest and came back with their full chest.. that shows conviction

But having one leg each in two different tros smirks of deceit, greed and lack of conviction. The PDP should be resolute on Wike matter now and not tomorrow else they would have by themselves dashed 2027 to the APC before it even comes..

They can't continue playing..

Like Wike Originates From Wickedness.
