The Supreme Court has unanimously affirmed the nomination of Mr. David Lyon as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and upheld his victory as Governor-elect of Bayelsa State
The Supreme court struck out an appeal by former Minister of State for Agriculture, Heineken Lokpobiri.
It was gathered that the five-man panel upheld the decision of the court of the appeal which ruled that Lokpobiri’s appeal against the outcome of the September 4, 2019 primary of the APC was filed out of the time allowed by law.
Lokpobiri had asked the Scourt to declare him the candidate of the party and governor-elect.
