A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Yekini Nabena, has said that there is no more backdoor victory for Governor Duiye Diri following the Appeal court judgement.
Recall that the High Court in Abuja, had on October 9, declared that Sylva was not eligible to participate in the gubernatorial contest having already spent five years in office as governor of the state.
Nabena stated this in a statement on Tuesday while reacting to the Court judgement reinstating the immediate past Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipreye Sylva as APC governorship election in the November 11 election in Bayelsa state.
Nabena, said Diri can not escape the judgement of the masses in Bayelsa state, whho have been badly affected by his bad governance in the last four years.
He said: “The workers, pensioners and the traditional rulers Governor Diri refused to care about their welfare will also speak loudly with their votes on November 11.
“Diri is not known to have ever won any election but always come through the back door to occupy the exalted seat against the popular mandate of the electorates.”
“We are using this medium to tell Governor Diri and his cohort that there is no room for black market victory in this election. It is either you come clean or leave the race, but certainly no court will save Diri from heavy defeat this time around.
“History is not about to repeat itself because Governor Diri is not known for ever winning any clear electoral contest and the people of Bayelsa are tired of an accidental Governor.
