Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Bayelsa
State, Senator Douye Diri has been summoned by the Code of Code
Bureau (CCB).
Diri is expected to be grilled by investigators over allegations
that he refused to declare his assets when he served as Principal
Executive Secretary and Chief of Staff to Governor Seriake Dickson
between 2012 and 2013.
The CBB had recently disclosed that it received a petition from
an anti-corruption Bayelsa Coalition for Good Governance and
Accountability (BCGGA) noting that it had summoned the authors of
the petition to verify the allegations contained in the
petition.
Investigations revealed that the CCB had faced obstacles to
served summons on Senator Diri as nobody at his campaign office in
Yenagoa accepted to receive the summons.
Executive Director of BCGGA Mr. Joseph Ambakederimo, confirmed
that as author of the petition, BCGGA members were also to appear
on today to defend their petition.
Ambakederimo who alleged that he and members of the group have
received several death threats since the petition became public
knowledge denied he was being used by politician.
He said BCGGA was already sending a petition to the
Inspector-General of Police over the threats to their lives.
The Director-General of the governorship campaign organisation,
Dr Nimbofa Ayawei in an interview said Diri would address all the
issues when he returns from Abuja.
