APC to PDP: Diri is illegitimate governor - The Nation Nigeria

The Bayelsa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has described the state Governor, Senator Douye Diri as illegitimate.

The PDP in a statement credited to its state Secretary, Godspower Keku, claimed that Sylva and Oshiomhole facilitated their electoral victory at the court by foisting Senator Degi Erimienyo as the running mate to Chief David Lyon. But the APC in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Doifie Buokoribo described the PDP’s position as irresponsible, petty and provocative.

He said: “Legally, Douye Diri is governor of Bayelsa State, but in the hearts and minds of our people, he is illegitimate. He was not the one they voted for. He will bear the burden of illegitimacy throughout his tenancy at Creek Haven, Government House, Yenagoa. He said Sylva had already disclaimed and denounced the recent protests that took place in Yenagoa and Abuja after the Supreme Court judgement of 13 February 2020.He said: “In the specific case of Bayelsa State, we have said it time and again that it was the PDP Government under Governor Henry Seriake Dickson that ran a regime of heist, violence and lawlessness since 2012. APC and its supporters were, at all times, the victims.

“Coming less than three weeks as governor, this move is scandalous, unsympathetic and ungodly. Sadly, the Bayelsa State House of Assembly has approved the loan request.

Una mumu never do, APC? Oya, fill in the gap... If Diri is illegitimate, Hope is------------------------------?

No leader affirms by the court is illegitimate. As a matter of fact, he's both legitimate and rightly so. It's a lesson to party leaders to be meticulous and discerning when choosing their candidates. shineyoureyes costlymistakes

But hope is legitimate.. 😂
