Bayelsa: PDP Secretariat, others set ablaze as protest rocks Yenagoa over Supreme Court ruling
Tension has risen to the crescendo in Bayelsa State as aggrieved Bayelsans and APC supporters embarked on massive protest following INEC’s declaration of PDP Douye Diri as the state’s governor-elect.
The declaration followed an earlier verdict nullifying the election of David Lyon and his Deputy, Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo by the apex court. When DAILY POST visited some of the government’s property reportedly destroyed by the protesters, they were mostly up in flames, with heavy security presence to deter the protesters from further actions.
One of the women leaders, Madam Normy, who was visibly angry, said ”we can’t continue to suffer in our state for another eight years under one man who doesn’t care about an ordinary man in the state.
