<p>The Bayelsa Coordinator of the Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Mr Alagoa Morris, has defected from the Labour Party (LP) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).</p>, <p>Morris, an Environmental Rights Activist, made the announcement on Thursday in Yenagoa ahead of the Bayelsa Governorship Election slated for Nov. 11.</p>, <p>He noted that Gov. Duoye Diri had done so many good things some of which are not in the public domain, hence his reason to totally support his re-election to continue in office.</p>, <p>He said, “I decided to support the incumbent governor because he is the best among the major contenders.</p>, <p>“Looking at the available candidates on the ground for the Nov. 11 election, Diri is the only one who should be supported.</p>, <p>“I was not a member of the Labour Party before they appointed me the state coordinator and that job had been completed since, so life goes on.</p>, <p>“I was with Gov. Douye Diri yesterday and looking at the candidates that are available, I believe he is the one that we need to support.</p>, <p>“This is because when anybody comes in now, what they will tell us is that they meet an empty treasury.</p>, <p>“Therefore, this one that is already working with development partners and other stakeholders should be allowed to continue.</p>, <p>“Diri has done a lot of things that are not in the public domain. I think he is trying, so we have to support him to continue,” he said.</p>
