Douye Diri Sworn In As Bayelsa Governor

The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the 2019 governorship election in Bayelsa State, Senator Duoye Diri, has been sworn in as governor.


His swearing-in comes a day after the Supreme Court sacked the former governor-elect of Bayelsa State, David Lyon, and his Deputy, Biobarakuma Degi-Eremieoyo.

Hours before the swearing-in, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officially declared him as the winner of the governorship election in the state.

While delivering his acceptance speech, Douye asked Bayelsan’s to embrace each other in love and avoid hatred which he believes would only inhibit the growth and development of the state.
