Udengs Eradiri, the former Labour Party governorship candidate in Bayelsa State, has extended his congratulations to Governor Douye Diri following the Supreme Court’s affirmation of Diri’s election.
Eradiri, a former President of the Ijaw Youths Congress, urged the governor to display magnanimity in victory and resist the urge to marginalize his political opponents.
In a statement released on Monday, Eradiri acknowledged the conclusion of all litigation with the Supreme Court’s ruling and called on all stakeholders to collaborate with Diri for the state’s progress. Despite challenging Diri’s victory up to the Appeal Court and opting not to pursue the case further, Eradiri pledged to offer constructive criticism rather than engage in partisan conflict.
