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

Oshiomhole, in a chat with reporters, faulted INEC “illegally declaring Diri as Governor-elect”.
