Jubilation in Bayelsa Government House
Thursday’s judgment came as a shock to the All Progressives Congress and the governor-in-waiting, David Lyon, whose qualification for the election was invalidated by the Supreme Court.
However, it was an instant burst of jubilation at the Government House as the party’s supporters trooped in to the seat of power at Onopa, to celebrate with Governor Seriake Dickson, who was having a valedictory session with his cabinet at the Exco Chambers in the Government House. However, it was a mishmash of emotions as expectant APC supporters and loyalists of Lyon were seen still in shock while discussing the ‘unfairness’ of the Supreme Court decision, while the PDP faithful erupted in celebration.
While congratulating Diri and Ehrudjakpor, he expressed gratitude to God and the judges at the apex court for standing true to the law, commending the governor for his support for Diri and Ehrudjakpor throughout the trying period of the legal battle.
