Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has expressed optimism that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, would surmount its current challenges and emerge victorious at all levels in the 2023 general elections.
Governor Diri stated this at an interdenominational church service organized by the state government to mark Nigeria’s 62nd independence and the 26th anniversary of the creation of Bayelsa State at the King of Glory Chapel, Government House, Yenagoa.
Represented by his deputy, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, the Governor described the post-convention crisis rocking the PDP as the “shaking of the water in the river that will not stop the boat from getting to its destination.”
He said that by God’s grace and the support of Nigerians who have seen the difference between the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the PDP, his party would reclaim power at the centre and in the majority of the states, including Bayelsa.
His words: “What is happening in our party is just shaking of water. The water has not poured and will not pour. For the fact that there is a storm in the river, does not mean, the ship or the boat will not sail to its destination.
“The most important question is: Is there a competent captain and a functional radar? The PDP ship will definitely get to its destination. By God’s grace and the support of well meaning people of our country, we are going to win convincingly.
