The Bayelsa State Gubernatorial Petition Tribunal in Abuja has nullified the election of Governor Duoye Diri of Bayelsa State.

A three-member panel of justices presided by Justice Ibrahim Sirajo on Monday upheld the petition of the Advanced Nigeria Democratic Party (ANDP) hinged on the exclusion of the party in the November 16, 2019 governorship election.

The panel ordered fresh election in the states within 90 days.
