The reason behind this is bond energy of C-C bond . In diamond bondlength of C-C bond is 154 pm whereas in graphite it is 145 pm and therefore bond order of graphite is more than diamond that is equal to 1.5 (approx) .
As u would know that bond length is inversely proportional to bond order .
Hope it helps u :)

Graphite has sp2 hybridised C-C bonds , while Diamond has sp3 hybridised carbon .And sp2 has higher bond order , which means high bond order .

Graphite has pi character in C-C bond while diamond has only sigma bonds. That is why C-C bond order in graphite is more than that in diamond
