PDP’s Diri cannot be sworn in as Bayelsa Gov – Oshiomhole

National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has declared candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Douye Diri cannot be sworn in on Friday as Bayelsa Governor because he did not meet the requirements of the Supreme Court.

Oshiomhole pointed out the judgment of the Supreme Court said the certificate of return should be issued to the candidate, who has the required spread in the election aside from David Lyon.

He said there was no candidate in the election that met the requirement apart from Lyon, adding that the implication is that from Friday Bayelsa will be without a Governor.
