‘The Governor of Bayelsa is God Himself, No One Can Unseat Him’, Diri Reacts to Appeal Court Verdict

Bayelsa state Governor, Douye Diri has reacted to his victory at the appeal court which upheld his election as the validly elected Governor of the state.

In a statement on Friday by his spokesman, Mr. Daniel Alabrah, Diri said he is a messenger of God and no one can unseat him.

“I want to thank God for this victory. Today, a Daniel came to judgement in the name of the Court of Appeal, which has given the true position of the law and we are happy about it” he said.

“For those who are fanning the embers of disunity in our state using portfolio political parties, this is a time to put a full stop to it. If they really love the state, why are they still fanning the embers of destabilisation and moving on to unseat us?

“The governor of Bayelsa State is God Himself. I have told those who care to listen that I am only a messenger-governor. The governor of Bayelsa is His Excellency the Supreme Leader of the universe and that is God Himself.

“He kept me here to hold brief for Him and you cannot unseat God. There is a God that rules over the affairs of men and that God that has brought me here will protect me, my deputy governor and everybody put together to lead this government” he added.
