Gov Diri Visited President Tinubu To Discuss  Matters Concerning Bayelsa,  Not To Congratulate Him-PDP Spokesman

Governor  Douye  Diri of Bayelsa state was at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Thursday to discuss matters that have to do with his state and not to congratulate President Bola Tinubu on his judicial victory, the state PDP, has clarified.

Recall that the Supreme Court had on Thursday affirmed the president’s victory in the presidential election held in February this year.

However, shortly after the  news of  the president’s  judicial victory hit the airwaves, Diri was seen on national television shaking hands with President Tinubu while  Minister of Marine and Blue Economy,  Mr Gboyega Oyetola; Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike;  Governor Dapo Abiodun,  Alhaji  Abdullahi Ganduje and the president’s  Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale watched in admiration.

Diri had since then gotten a great deal of public attention with many leaping to conclusions that he has dumped his party, the PDP.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Bayelsa state PDP  Publicity Secretary, Mr Ebiye Ogoli, has clarified that the governor has not done anything that will amount to anti-party activities.

‘What I know as a fact is that our governor had on several occasions sought to meet with the president. So, what people saw on national television was just a coincidence.

It was scheduled that he (Diri) will see the president that day (Thursday) to enable the president  understand certain things. And there are some pockets of issues for which the governor had wanted to discuss with the president as the Chief Security Officer of Bayelsa.

So, it happened that on that very day, he was detailed to see the president and that was why it was a coincidence. It was not as if he went there because of the Supreme Court judgment. No.

Far from it (anti-party). I can tell you categorically that it’s not about trying to run down or demean the personality of our presidential candidate. Not at all. The visit was just a coincidence.

He is one politician who has always reached out to everybody on both sides of the divide because he sees himself as a leader, particularly in Bayelsa state’ he said-Team@orientactualmags.com
