Douye Diri: An emerging force in PDP



 By Samuel Peres 

 Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has just emerged a strong force in the PDP following the successful conduct of the party's National Convention in Abuja. Deservedly, this silent 'hard worker' featured prominently in all processes including the political maneuvers and consensus that has led to the election of new leadership for the party under the chairmanship of former Senate President, Iyorchia Ayu, from Benue State. Indeed, a new power bloc has just emerged within the PDP and with every sense of pride and acknowledgment, Gov. Diri is at the forefront with other governors for the sagacity, maturity and administrative experience he brought to bare in the assignment as Deputy Chairman, 2021 National Convention Main Organising Committee. 


 He had a great and excellent work experience with the Convention Main Organising Committee Chairman, Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State and the Convention Secretary, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State. Truly, Senator Diri has emerged one of the new power blocs within the ranks of the PDP in a journey to rescue Nigeria. From North to West to East and South, Governor Diri of Bayelsa State has formed dependable alliances and true network of friendship across board. Most of the PDP Governors played very active and critical roles in liaising with key party leaders and stakeholders in achieving the many consensus for the success in the convention. The political horse-trade and certain tough decisions to get the party back on stream as well as put the Uche Secondus era behind were clearly daunting tasks he and other leaders cracked. 

 Gov. Douye Diri, has shown capacity and displayed strong spirit of a team player in the national assignment that has brought a new zeal and energy into the PDP to rescue Nigeria from bad leadership. Samuel Peres, is a member of the PDP and writes from Yenagoa.

OPINION: Politicising Tragedy

 The sad occurrence of the collapse of a 21 storey building in Lagos was a monumental disaster. Certainly the loss of more than 20 lives up to-date is a painful human tragedy. All attention must be focussed on what happened, why it happened and how can future occurrences be prevented all together!. Governor Babajide Sanwoolu, as usual of him, immediately rose to the occasion. Cut short his schedule official engagement in Rome and went to the venue straight from the airport. Even before his arrival the General Manager in charge was immediately sent on compulsory leave. Within 24hrs the governor has visited the site and the surviving victims about twice and a technical enquiry committee of capable and highly credible professionals has been put in place to unravel whatever happened and to advice government appropriately on issues including that of culpability, negligence and possible acts of criminality. It is widely reported that the number of floors constructed was far in exces...
