Nigeria’ Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Duoye Diri as the winner of the Bayelsa election.
The INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, who made this announcement at the INEC headquarters in Abuja said the certificate of return will be issued immediately to the winner.
The Supreme court on Thursday, February 13, annulled the election of APC’s David Lyon on grounds that his running mate ran in the November 2019 governorship election with forged certificate.
Meanwhile, the PDP’s Duoye Diri has approached the INEC office to receive his certificate of returns.
