Obuebite defends Diri’s defection to APC, cites development projects

Dr Jonathan Obuebite, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Nembe/Brass Federal Constituency in Bayelsa State, has defended Governor Douye Diri’s decision to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling party, saying the move has helped attract federal support for development projects.
