Bayelsa State governor, Douye Diri, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
This is according to a post on Facebook by his Chief Press Secretary, Daniel Alabrah.
Alabrah said the governor resigned from the PDP with the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Abraham Ingobere, along with all the PDP members in the state legislature.
Diri’s resignation from the PDP brings to an end months of speculation over his alleged move to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
However, Alabrah did not disclose which political party his principal will join.
The Punch reports that the Diri made the announcement on Wednesday during the weekly State Executive Council meeting inside Government House, Yenagoa.
It was also reported that the governor has submitted his resignation letter to the party.
It is believed that all members of the State Executive Council (SEC) have resigned alongside the governor.
The governor is yet to publicly confirm his resignation from the opposition party.
