The governorship election petition tribunal has affirmed the re-election of Douye Diri as governor of the Bayelsa State.
A three-member tribunal led by Adekunle Adeleye dismissed the petition filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate Timipre Sylva for lack of merit.
In its unanimous decision on Monday, the tribunal held that the petitioners failed to adduce any credible evidence to substantiate any of the allegations they raised against the outcome of the Bayelsa poll.
