Relief has come the way of Bayelsa state Governor Duoye Diri, as an Appeal Court sitting n Abuja has upheld his election.
The appellate court on Friday upturned the August 17, 2020 verdict of the Bayelsa State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal which had sacked Governor Duoye Diri from office and ordered fresh poll to be conducted within 90 days.
In its ruling, the five-man panel led by Justice Adezila Mshelia set aside the tribunal’s verdict and affirmed Diri’s election in its judgment delivered.
