Why PDP’s Diri cannot be sworn in as Bayelsa governor – Oshiomhole
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole has declared that candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Senator Douye Diri cannot be sworn in on Friday as Bayelsa Governor.
Oshiomole said this is because Diri did not meet the requirements of the Supreme Court.
The APC chairman explained that the judgement 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.
