Breaking: Like Ododo, Tribunal affirms Diri as Bayelsa governor

The Bayelsa State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has affirmed the election of Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State.

The court sitting on Monday in Abuja affirmed that he was duly elected.

A three-man panel led by Justice Adekunle Adeleye dismissed the petition filed by the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Timipre Sylva, and the party for lacking in merit.

In a unanimous decision, the tribunal held that the petitioners failed to prove any credible evidence to back up any of the allegations they raised against the re-election victory of Diri.

His victory came after Tribunal affirmed Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo as the governor of Kogi state.
