By Asolo Eyedoude

There were indications that the Governor Serikae Dickson’s led Restoration Caucus may have decided on Senator Douye Diri as the preferred aspirant in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s governorship primaries on Tuesday.

The indication to this came in the wake of a gale of endorsements for the legislator across the eight local government areas of the state as several caucuses led by sitting legislators endorsed the legislator as the next governor of Bayelsa State.

Meanwhile as the endorsements spread across the state, rivals sought to push him down with claims of a blood relationship between him and the outgoing governor.
