Governor Diri stand for front of everybody for the exco chamber inside Bayelsa State Government House, announce wetin dey happen for their political waka. E come talk sey him get reason wey make am jump ship, but no be me go talk wetin that reason be, as he no gree drop am (Some secrets no fit carry face, right?).
One curious matter be sey na just 24 hours after Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, follow same level enter APC (All Progressives Congress) before Diri follow am. Na wah! Wetin dey happen for Nigeria politics, abeg? Mbah no wear gloves talk say him move na to protect the interest of him people. E say him no be traitor, but rather, na to serve the people better. Na so wahala dey start!
But make we no forget sey the day wey Diri whole the press matter, him Deputy Governor, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, no show face. E say all the absent members dey on official assignment, which make am sound like sey dem just dey find excuse (Na who no like better gist?).
Speaker Abraham Ngobere don talk sey PDP no fit produce any presidential candidate wey go win for 2027 election. Abeg, if na so e be, wetin dem dey plan for the party? African politics dey sweet pass Nollywood sometimes o!
After Mbah move, PDP come show sey dem dey vex for the whole defection matter. PDP talk say em disappointed no be small.

Sometimes, politics no dey follow meaning jare!
Debo Ologunagba, the National Publicity Secretary of PDP, talk sey dem dey aware say some moles dey disturb the party’s progress. E say dey go use the upcoming national convention wey dey com for Ibadan to straighten things out (We fit only hope say dem no use water wash!).
President Bola Tinubu don show no concern for the crisis wey dey happen for the opposition parties wey dey fight, no be only PDP. E dey giggle sey people wey no dey fit hold their party matter na dem dey always fear sey members go dey jump ship. E no dey bother, like sey tfloor dey hot just dey watch them dem in disarray (E goose beard, sha!).
Na affectation wey Diri’s defection go bring be sey now, PDP no get enough governors for South-East and South-South again. E left only one governor, Siminalayi Fubara from Rivers, then eight nationwide. This matter suppose make anybody wey dey sleep sit up and think well o.
