The Bayelsa State chapter of the Nigeria Democratic Congress has fired a bold warning at Governor Douye Diri, insisting that no amount of financial inducement will derail its determination to seize governance of the state ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking with journalists in Yenagoa, the NDC State Chairman, Hon. Dauprebo Ikuromo, called on the Bayelsa State Government to avoid attempts to entice NDC aspirants with financial incentives designed to create rifts within the party, asserting that no form of inducement can divert the NDC from its objective of assuming leadership in the state.
Ikuromo further urged the governor to redirect such resources toward tackling the state’s urgent developmental challenges, including the situation of the commissioned but non-operational gas turbines.
The NDC chairman also called on Governor Diri to adopt a more inclusive leadership approach, prioritising the welfare and sustainable development of Bayelsans over narrow political interests.
Ikuromo commended the NDC National Leader, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, for his exemplary conduct during the party’s primaries, describing his management of the process nationwide as fair, tactful, and wise. He also praised Dickson’s deliberate inclusion of youth and women in the party’s primaries as consistent with the principles of affirmative action.
The NDC chairman urged party members and supporters across the state to remain united and focused, describing the ruling party as one that has failed Bayelsans and Nigeria at large.
