YENAGOA – Stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bayelsa State have cautioned Governor Douye Diri to beware of a former member of the National Assembly and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Israel Sunny-Goli, who has publicly expressed support for his (Diri’s) re-election in the November 11 governorship polls.

The stakeholders under the auspices of PDP Alliance for Democracy said the governor needed to be wary of Sunny-Goli, following his recent betrayal of his benefactor of over two decades, Timipre Sylva, who is the APC governorship candidate for the polls.

The group, in a statement issued in Yenagoa signed by its Convener, Ekiye Akposeye, on Tuesday, said that Sunny-Goli’s public declaration of support for Diri’s second term appeared to be a game plan.
