In a statement on Monday, Eradiri said that with the affirmation by the apex court on the outcome of the Bayelsa governorship election, all litigation had come to an end. He called on all stakeholders to work with the governor to move the state forward.

Eradiri, who contested Diri’s victory up to the Appeal Court and decided against taking his case to the Supreme Court, assured the people of the state that he would engage the governor and his administration only with constructive criticism.

While urging the governor not to witch-hunt political opponents, he tasked him with addressing the issues of state development with all seriousness and formulating policies and programmes that would tackle the problems of the state.

He stated, “All involved in the last election have fought a good fight. All the litigations have now been resolved with the final judgement of the Supreme Court affirming the election of Governor Douye Diri. My team and I congratulate the governor of our state on his victory.

“It is now time for all stakeholders in the state to come together and work with the governor to move the state forward. There should be no room for politics of bitterness, and we also urge the governor to be magnanimous in victory.
