Mr Diri was sworn in Friday as the fifth governor of the oil-rich state, amidst a violent protest in the state capital, Yenagoa, and other parts of the state, by aggrieved supporters of the All Progressives Congress .
“Today, we have been sworn in as PDP, my advice to all of us is that we have to be magnanimous in victory,” Mr Diri said in his inaugural speech before a crowd of supporters. The Government House was the venue of the inaugural ceremony. The Samson Siasia Stadium, which was earlier slated for the swearing in of Mr Lyon, was jettisoned after the Supreme Court judgement.There were hitches as the organisers struggled to get the ceremony to go on. They did not plan and rehearse for it apparently because of the circumstances that threw up the event. Voices from the crowd intermittently interrupted Mr Diri’s speech.
