I HAVE INSTRUCTED MY LAWYERS TO APPEAL TRIBUNAL RULING -GOV. DIRI

BY ERIC OLUSESAN 


Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has said he has instructed his lawyers to appeal Monday’s ruling of the state election petition tribunal Abuja by filling all necessary papers. 


Governor Diri, who spoke shortly after the tribunal ruled that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) wrongly excluded the Advanced Nigeria Democratic Party (ANDP) governorship candidate in the November 16, 2019 election, said he has implicit confidence in the judiciary that he would triumph in the end.


His words: “We trust in the judiciary and we are appealing the judgement. With God on our side, we will get justice. 


“This is a court of first instance and I have instructed our lawyers to file an appeal. We have a right of appeal even up to the Supreme Court.”


The governor urged members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and his supporters not to panic and to continue to remain calm and law-abiding.
