Congratulations To Gov Diri for winning second term, The Prodigal Son by ganisucks(f): 3:43pm On Nov 13, 2023
Congrats to Sen Douye Diri for winning a second term in office. I hope you have learnt your lesson. Never again, should you follow the silly steps of a motor park Ikwere drunk who doesn't even know how to tie his shoes, let alone plot political strategies. That clown is already finished politically.
Congrats again to Diri. 4+4.

The Executive Governor of Bayelsa State His Excellency Doye Diri has recently secured the majority votes cast in the Bayelsa State Governorship election held on 11th November 2023.

His victory in the election has enabled him to secure his second term in office as the Governor of Bayelsa State.

In the keenly contested election which came with many delays in announcing the results of the election from the eight LGA in Bayelsa State, Doye emerged victorious and defeated his close political rivalry from the All Progressive Congress (APC).

Senator Doye Diri was first elected in 2020 after Supreme Court declared him the winner of November 2019 Governorship election in Bayelsa State.

In 2023, he contested again as the flag bearer of his political party People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the election and won six out of the eight local government area in the state.

After over 48 hours after the Bayelsa governorship election, Governor Douye Diri has clinched a second term in office as the leader of the coastal state.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate fought off his All Progressives Congress (APC) counterpart Timipre Sylva in a fiercely contested exercise in the oil-rich state.

Diri, who came into power in 2020, got a total of 175,196 votes while Sylva polled 110,108 votes. The figures meant the PDP flagbearer beat his closest rival by 65,088 votes.

The Labour Party (LP) scored a total of 905 to come a distant third.

Sylva’s Third Missionary Journey

While 18 candidates vied for the post, Sylva was Diri’s main contender. The immediate past Minister of State for Petroleum was contesting to return as the governor of the South-South state.

He first became a governor from May 2007 to April 2008. Sylva returned as the leader of the state between May 2008 and January 2012.

But his third attempt to become the governor of Bayelsa State was a bumpy ride. About one month before the election, the Federal High Court in Abuja disqualified him from the contest, citing a breach of the 1999 Constitution if he won.

According to Justice Okorowo, since Sylva has served twice and five years as governor of the state, he would breach the 1999 constitution as amended if allowed to contest again.

The judge also declared that Sylva was not qualified to run in the November poll because if he wins and is sworn in, he would spend more than eight years in office as governor of the state.

In the wake of the ruling, INEC delisted him as a contestant for the exercise. But APC and Sylva challenged the judgment with the Appeal Court on October 31, 2023 later reversing Sylva’s disqualification for the poll.

Sylva was a false flag intended to get Diri to toe the line. He was entertaining silly ideas of jumping ship and bowing to the Ikwere and Otueke false Gods. Good of Diri to listen to wise counsel and negate the help of losers hiding in FCT Abuja pretending they are ministers. 25billion Naira for mouth. Go and take, na. Joker. 😆🤣😂😂
Pesin wan jump from Motor park tout to President. Where will that one happen. Aso Rock, Ikwere joker no go ever see. Shor.
