Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, on Saturday, expressed confidence that his party’s candidates in the state’s senatorial bye-elections will win the two seats.

He said the PDP candidates were incomparable as the party fielded quality candidates.

Governor Diri stated this while speaking to newsmen after casting his vote at Sampou, his country home.

It was gathered that the Bayelsa bye-elections took place in the Bayelsa Central and West Senatorial Districts, vacated by him and the deputy, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo.

Diri said, “The candidates of PDP are incomparable. We fielded quality candidates and you can see the difference between the PDP candidates and particularly the other candidates. I don’t want to mention the names.

“The Senate is not a place for jokers or people who were dismissed from the service. The Senate is for those with integrity and for those who can comprehend.

“It is for those who can bring an argument on the floor that can convince their colleagues and I think the candidates of PDP have all that.”

He explained that the process of the election was very easy and faster maintaining that the card reader identified him.

“I can describe the process as being smooth and peaceful. The accreditation and voting enhanced the process instead of waiting for hours,” he said.
