The national leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Seriake Dickson, has criticised Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, accusing him of surrendering the state to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Dickson made the remarks during a political visit to his home state, where he accused the governor of sacrificing the state’s political interests for his second-term ambition.
He said: “You have surrendered Bayelsa to APC. You have sold Bayelsa to APC and you will pay for it in 2027.
“Bayelsa is PDP and PDP is Bayelsa. You cannot sell our state because of your second-term ambition.
“We gave you a PDP ticket, we made you governor twice. Now you want to give Bayelsa to APC. It will not work. We will reclaim Bayelsa in 2027.”
