The Bayelsa State
Governor, Douye Diri has described himself as a miracle governor.
Diri, who was
recently Sworn-in as governor of the state, revealed that his ‘stolen” mandate
was restored through divine intervention.
Recall that the
Supreme Court had recently sacked David Lyon of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, while declaring Diri winner of the last governorship election in Bayelsa
State.
However, addressing
journalists yesterday in Abuja, the governor disclosed that the result
initially declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, was
“concocted” in a hotel room in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital.
Diri said shortly
after INEC declared the result, his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
went to work to reclaim his mandate.
He said: “We’ve been
in the wilderness. We’ve gone through a tortuous and winding road and at the
end of the day, God himself delivered us. So, I have christened myself the
miracle governor.
“But in their bid to
look for legitimacy for those results, they started telling Nigerians stories
about me, about my predecessor and all of those falsehood stories. They also
came with all those stories about factions and we all know that factions are common
in any political party.
“The truth is that
they used the so-called federal might to impose somebody on Bayelsa State. But
the good thing is that today, the PDP has triumphed and Bayelsa now has a
governor in my humble self.
“This is against the
utterances of all those who were swearing that there would be no governor in
Bayelsa State. They swore as though they were gods, but to their greatest
chagrin and to the glory of God, Bayelsa State has a governor.”
