Following the dismissal, on Wednesday, of the application of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to reverse itself in the Bayeksa State governorship judgement, there waswild jubilation across the state.
The celebration was led by immediate past governor of the state, Hon. Seriake Dickson and incumbent Governor Douye Diri.

The camp of the APC and its leaders were, however, left in shock at the decision of the Supreme Court to throw out its application for a review.
The APC leaders wore long faces and their camp was quiet after the decision of the Supreme Court.
The sacked Deputy Governor-elect, Degi Erimienyo, on whose account APC lost Bayelsa, was in court sitting close to the National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole.
However, PDP leaders were seen in wild jubilation, shouting and dancing to mark the end to the litigation, which caused tension in the state.
