Bayelsa Governor’s Aide Patrick Spiff Quits to Back NDC
A media aide to Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri has resigned as Special Assistant on New Media. His resignation letter, dated 29 May, was received by the governor’s office on 1 June. While he offered no official reason, Patrick Spiff’s recent social media activity hints at a shift in loyalty. He’s been seen wearing NDC-branded attire and posting predictions of victory for the party in Bayelsa and across the country. This move comes amid wider realignments in Bayelsa politics. Governor Diri defected to the APC last year, while former ally Seriake Dickson founded the NDC after declining to follow him. The new party has attracted figures like Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso as it positions itself ahead of 2027. Mr Spiff’s public endorsement of the NDC before formally stepping down has fueled speculation about his next political role.
