The ousted Bayelsa State Governor-elect, Chief David Lyon, has rejected the judgement of the Supreme Court that stopped his swearing-in.
He said it was wrong for Senator Douye Diri of the Peoples Democratic Party to have been inaugurated as the state governor saying he did not meet the constitutionally electoral requirements for inauguration as directed by the court.
He said the APC and the people of Bayelsa totally rejected the judgement and called on the Independent National Electoral Commission not to issue certificate of return to Diri.Lyon argued that even based on the pronouncement of the court, Diri was not qualified to be sworn-in as he failed to meet the constitutionally required geographical spread in the election.
