Obuebite PhD, extends his heartfelt congratulations to Senator Douye Diri, the esteemed governor of Bayelsa State, and his deputy, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, on their recent triumph at the Court of Appeal.

The Court of Appeal, presiding in the federal capital territory of Abuja, dismissed an appeal lodged by Chief Timipre Sylva, the candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), challenging Governor Diri’s well-deserved victory in the November 2023 gubernatorial election.

“Now is the time for all political contenders to set aside their differences and come together in a spirit of unity for the greater good and growth of Bayelsa State.”

“Let us celebrate the success of Governor Douye Diri and Deputy Governor Lawrence, as they continue to lead Bayelsa State towards a future brimming with progress and prosperity.”
