Just in, Resignation from PDP: Diri has lost legitimacy to continue in office.
The Chairman, Board of Trustees (BoT), of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Adolphus Wabara, has queried the legitimacy of Gov.
Douye Diri of Bayelsa State, to continue in office as the Governor, having dumped the party that brought him to power, and claiming to be ‘partyless’”.
The former Senate President who described the action of the Governor as unconstitutional, said Diri had disqualified himself from continuing in office having left the party whose mandate he is holding in trust.
Senator Wabara argued that the Nigeria Constitution, had no provision for independent candidacy at the moment, hence any elected leader “who dumps the platform that brought him should also relinquish the office he occupies”.
