Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, Tuesday celebrated and commended Justices of the Supreme Court for their uprightness.
He described the verdict of the Supreme Court as the triumph of democracy.
Diri, who spoke to journalists in Abuja shortly after the apex court dismissed the appeal filed by Chief Ndutimi Alaibe against his victory at the September 3, 2019 governorship primary election of the Peoples Democracy Party (PDP), explained that the incident has deepened democratic ethos in Nigeria.
The governor noted that the judiciary remains the last hope of the common man in the country.
“Clearly and transparently, the Justices have displayed uprightness. They have also displayed that the Supreme Court is indeed the last court in Nigeria.
“I want to appreciate them and I believe and pray that God will continue to guide them, use them to do justice to all manner of people,” he said.
Diri also appreciated Bayelsans home and abroad as well as lovers of the state government for their prayers and promised not to fail them.
