The former Governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, has officially dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The influential lawmaker, who represents Bayelsa West in the National Assembly, made the high-profile announcement on Thursday.
Breaking his long-standing ties with the main opposition party, Dickson confirmed that he has moved his structure to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
The defection marks a significant turning point for the “Ofurumapepe” of Bayelsa politics, who served two terms as governor under the PDP banner between 2012 and 2020.
Speaking on the development, Dickson indicated that his decision followed extensive consultations with his primary constituents and political stakeholders across the Niger Delta region.
