Adams Oshiomhole
Malik Yahya/
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole has condemned the Supreme Court’s judgment which sacked the Bayelsa State governor-elect, David Lyon.
A five-man panel of the court led by Justice Mary Odilli held that Lyon’s deputy, Degi-Eremieoyo presented a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Speaking at a media briefing in Abuja, today, Oshiomhole said the party would challenge the judgment in court.
He also said no one would be sworn in as governor in Bayelsa tomorrow because David Lyon was the only candidate who had the constitutional spread to be sworn in as governor.
“No other candidate has the constitutional spread to be sworn in as governor; the judgement lacks the fruit of justice.
“Our lawyers are already studying the judgment to take the necessary legal action,” Oshiomhole said.
