Backlash As Dancing Governor, Adeleke, Diri Celebrate Supreme Court Judgment On Bayelsa

A video circulating on social media has captured the jubilant moment featuring Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State, Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, and other prominent leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) celebrating after the Supreme Court upheld Diri’s election victory.

In the footage, the leaders were seen singing and dancing in a sitting room, clearly reveling in the decision of the Supreme Court which affirmed Governor Diri’s re-election as the legitimate governor of Bayelsa State.

However, the celebration has drawn sharp criticism from netizens, who took to social media to express their displeasure. Many accused the leaders of being out of touch with the harsh realities faced by ordinary Nigerians. Critics argue that the leaders’ public display of joy was insensitive, given the ongoing economic struggles and widespread hardships across the country.

Some online commentators pointed out the irony of the situation, suggesting that if the court ruling had favored the opposition party, the same individuals celebrating would likely have been the first to criticize the judiciary and question the integrity of the democratic process. Now that the verdict has gone in their favor, they are silent on such issues, according to the critics.

Read some netizens’ reactions to the celebration video of the celebration of the Supreme Court judgment on Bayelsa:
