Bayelsa guber: Appeal Court affirms Diri as duly elected governor
The Court of Appeal sitting in Owerri, Imo state on Tuesday affirmed Douye Diri as Governor of Bayelsa State.
The court gave the ruling in a suit challenging the emergence of Diri as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
A 2019 governorship aspirant on the platform of PDP, Ndutimi Alaibe had filed a suit challenging Diri’s victory at PDP’s primary election in Bayelsa State.
Following Diri’s emergence, Alaibe had instituted a legal action against Diri and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at the Federal High Court in Owerri.
Diri’s victory at the court had led Alaibe to appeal the ruling at the Court of Appeal.
However, the Appeal Court dismissed Alaibe’s suit while affirming the judgment of the lower court.
The Court dismissed Alaibe’s suit for lacking merit.”
