Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The governor announced this on Wednesday at the exco chamber in the Bayelsa State Government House, but did not state the political party that he will be moving to.
His decision was backed by 23 members of the House of Assembly, led by the Speaker.
This defection is coming barely 24 hours after the Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah joined the ruling All Progressive Congress.
As the details of the move is yet to be fully known, it was gathered that the governor and the lawmakers may be preparing to formally announce their defection to the political party of their choice.
Details later.
