Senator Douye Diri of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was
on Friday sworn in as the 5th democratically elected Governor of Bayelsa State.
The governor was sworn in after the Supreme Court nullified
the election of David Lyon of the APC.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in
compliance with the Supreme Court’s judgment declared Diri winner of the poll
and issued him with Certificate of Return.
This pave way for the swearing in of the Diri and his deputy
at the Bayelsa Government House on Friday.
The governor was sworn at exactly 6:55pm on Friday by Chief
Judge of Bayelsa, Hon. Justice Kate Abiri.
His deputy, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo was earlier sworn by the
Chief Judge.
The usual paraphernalia occasioning swearing in of governor
was missing at the hurriedly carried out ceremony. Even the citations of the
governor and his deputy were not read.
