Supporters of the All Progressives Congress on Monday took to the streets of Bayelsa State to celebrate the sack of the state Governor, Duoye Diri.
They were spotted celebrating across some areas in Yenagoa, the state capital.
Recall that the APC candidate, David Lyon won the November 16, 2019 governorship election, but the Supreme Court declared Diri and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) winner after ruling that the APC Deputy Governor-elect, Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo, presented a forged certificate.
