The Bayelsa coordinator of Peter Obi’s Presidential Campaign Council, Alagoa Morris, has said he would support current Governor Duoye Diri of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), and not the Labor Party (LP) candidate in the elections for governor of Bayelsa.
The elections are on November 11.
Morris, an environmental rights activist, made the announcement Thursday in Yenagoa.
He said Governor Diri had done “so many good things” and deserved to be re-elected.
“I decided to support the incumbent governor because he is the best among the main contenders,” he said.
Mr Morris went on to say: “I was not a member of the Labor Party before I was appointed State Coordinator, and that job has been completed since then, so life goes on.
“Yesterday I was with Governor Douye Diri and, looking at the available candidates, I think he is the one we should support.

“This is because when someone walks in now, what they will tell us is that they find an empty treasury.
“Therefore, this project, which is already working with development partners and other stakeholders, must be allowed to continue.
“Diri has done many things that are not in the public domain. I think he’s trying, so we have to support him to keep going,” he stated.
The LP candidate in the state is Udengs Eradirian engineer.
