PDP crisis will be over soon – Governor Diri

Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, has said the feud within the fold of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would soon become a thing of the past before the general elections.

Diri stated this at the weekend during the PDP South-South Zonal Stakeholders meeting at the Ibom Hall in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State on Monday.

In a statement issued on Monday through the office of the Chief Press Secretary, Daniel Alabra, the governor described the PDP as a big family that has held sway in the South-South geo-political zone.

Diri also noted that in such large families there were bound to be disagreements.

His words: “South-South is the only zone that has a preponderance of PDP governors. Therefore, it should be the zone to kick off the PDP presidential campaign.

“We have also been lucky to produce the vice presidential candidate.

“PDP will continue to demonstrate strength in the six states of the South-South. Our party is a big family and in any such family, it is normal to have differences. I strongly believe that the differences would be settled soon and we will come back as one indivisible party.

“Our region is blessed with human and material resources as well as politically and we will continue to add value to Nigeria and the party.”
