The governor-elect of Bayelsa State, Senator Douye Diri, has attributed the outcome of the Supreme Court judgement as the handwork of God, saying Bayelsa state has been healed.

Diri and his Deputy, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjiakpo were presented with their Certificates of Return in a solemn ceremony at INEC conference room by May Agbamu-Uche Mbu, INEC Commissioner in charge of Legal.
