Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has firmly declared that he has no plans to serve as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s running mate in the 2027 presidential election.
This declaration came after a group, self-identified as “Diri Angels,” suggested that Atiku, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), should consider Governor Diri for the role in 2027.
Governor Diri, through his spokesman Daniel Alabrah, labeled the group as “faceless” and dismissed their proposal as a “Greek gift” from political opportunists.
He advised his supporters to completely disregard the group’s suggestions.
Diri highlighted that the group’s true intention was to create discord, a scheme he believes has failed.
He emphasized that his political path has always been divinely guided and that he remains steadfast in his principles against any contrary advocacy.
Governor Diri reaffirmed his dedication to fulfilling his duties to the people of Bayelsa State, a trust first given to him in 2019 and renewed on November 11, 2023.
He urged Bayelsa residents to remain focused and not be swayed by “political buccaneers” aiming to cause confusion.
