The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has described as highly embarrassing the resignation of Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, from the Peoples Democratic Party.
Governor Diri, who was serving as chairman of the PDP zoning committee ahead of the party’s elective national convention scheduled for November 15 and 16, resigned from the party earlier in the week.
Speaking during a media chat on Friday in Abuja, Wike expressed disappointment over the development, noting that Diri’s decision was unexpected given his prominent role in the party’s preparations for the convention.
“It is very embarrassing. The governor was the chairman of the convention committee. Diri was the chairman of the zoning committee. Even though I knew from the beginning that they were all playing games,” Wike said.
