A former member of the House of Representatives from Bayelsa State, Israel Sunny-Goli, has said Governor Douye Diri will soon join the ruling party.

Sunny-Goli expressed this optimism on Thursday while responding to questions in an interview on Politics Today, on Channels Television monitored by DAILY POST.

According to him, Governor Diri’s leadership style and development strides align with the APC’s progressive agenda, making him a welcome addition to the party if he decides to make the switch.

“We see a leader who is competent, capable, sincere, and ready to take the state to the next level. I can tell you, he will finish stronger than any governor that has come before him because of the projects we see on ground.

“That is why those of us in the APC are praying and hoping that, when he finally tells the world which party he’s going to, it will be the APC,” Sunny-Goli said.

DAILY POST reports that, after weeks of speculation, Governor Diri finally announced his resignation from the PDP on Wednesday at the Executive Council Chamber of the Bayelsa State Government House.

He said his decision was for an “obvious reason” but did not state the reason or the political party to which he would be moving.
