Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State has reportedly picked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) nomination form to seek re-election as governor.

According to Daily Sun, the Bayelsa State governor has also informed his predecessor, Senator Seriake Dickson, of his intention to seek re-election.

A source revealed that one of the several support groups canvassing for Diri to run for second term had purchased the governorship forms for the governor.

A principal officer in the Bayelsa State House of Assembly and a close associate of the governor also confirmed that nomination form has been picked for the governor.

Diri is expected to run for the ticket of the PDP unopposed as no one has indicted interest to challenge him for the ticket.
