The new Bayelsa State governor- elect, Senator Diri Duoye and his deputy, Senator Lawrence Ewrujakpor have arrived at the People’s Democratic Party’s Legacy House in Abuja to present their certificates of return to the national leadership of the party.
The duo arrived at the party secretariat to a rousing welcome amidst jubilation from party supporters.
The Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC), earlier on Friday, declared the PDP candidate, Diri, as the winner of the November 16 governorship election held in Bayelsa State.
The INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, said the commission gave him the certificate of return in compliance with the order of the Supreme Court, which sacked APC’s David Lyon, 24 hours to his inauguration.
