Bayelsa state Governor, Douye Diri who was sworn in after Supreme court nullified the election victory of David Lyon of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared himself a miracle governor.
The verdict which was delivered a day before the supposed swearing-in ceremony of Lyon left many Nigerians in a state of total bewilderment.
Douye who admitted he had already lost hope of becoming Governor after the ruling of the Court of Appeal said his emergence as Governor is nothing but a miracle.
“I christen myself a miracle governor. I christen myself as a miracle governor. At a point, everybody gave up. We were the only party (PDP) the APC could not approach. We filed in court. The only place we had hope was in the judiciary,” said Douye.
“The case between the APC and the PDP was thrown out. The APC applauded the Supreme Court and on Thursday, February 13, 2020 the hammer came. We were in the wilderness and a torturous journey but here we are a miracle governor. They attempted to use the so-called federal might to impose somebody on Bayelsa.”

“There were those who said there will be no governor in Bayelsa State. To the glory of God, Bayelsa State has a governor. I am indeed a miracle governor.”
