The Independent National Electoral Commission has been slammed for declaring Douye Diri as Bayelsa governor-elect.

The All Progressives Congress(APC) has rejected the declaration of Senator Duoye Diri as Governor-elect of Bayelsa by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The party’s stand was made public by Its National Chairman Adams Oshiomhole, in an ongoing chat with reporters.

He faulted INEC, saying it “illegally declared Diri as Governor-elect”.

He accused INEC of appropriating judicial powers to itself over the Supreme Court ruling that sacked Chief David Lyon as Gov-elect.

He said the party will seek legal redress and go to the court to reclaim its mandate.
