APC Heads To Appeal Court Over Disqualification Of Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo by oshozondii: 4:45pm On Nov 13, 2019
The All Progressives Congress (APC) says it is heading to Appeal Court to challenge disqualification of its Deputy Governorship Candidate, Sen. Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo, in Nov. 16, Bayelsa governorship poll

A Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja, on Tuesday, disqualified Degi-Eremienyo, for submitting false information to Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Chief Amos Jothan, the state APC Chairman, in a statement on Wednesday in Yenagoa, described the court ruling as a miscarriage of justice.

“We are totally surprised that the court could in spite of objections by our lawyers, went ahead to determine a weighty criminal allegation of falsification and fraud solely on the bases of affidavit evidence contrary to well established judicial precedents that such must be proved beyond reasonable doubt by calling oral evidence.

“We strongly believe that the judgment cannot withstand a superior judicial scrutiny.

“Therefore, our lawyers have filed a notice of appeal and other court processes to arrest the execution of the judgment pending the outcome of the appeal.

“We call on all our members and supporters not to be distracted but continue to peacefully mobilise for the Nov.16, election,” he said.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had on Sept. 18 approached the court seeking disqualification of the candidate over alleged falsification of information.

They are afraid it could backfire 'cos the man has two false affidavits as alleged by the petitioners and again...the substitution wahala maybe subject to legal proceedings later....
So they will opt for a "stay of execution" for now...
INEC has already said they will appeal the judgement but obviously not under this time frame.

You're talking gibberish. If he wasn't qualified ab initio, it means the joint ticket is invalid in whatever way you look at it. It doesn't matter what happens on Saturday and again, substitution period has elapsed

the deputy governor candidate can resign then apc will replace him. If they continue with this ticket and later lost this forgery case in the supreme Court, tribunal will disqualify them even if they win

You know nothing boy! Can you build something on nothing? Let's assume they obtain a stay of execution and eventually win the election while it's later proven by a higher court that the lower court was right in its judgement, would their join ticket then miraculously becomes valid? Go and get a copy of your constitution and read to cure your chronic ignorance
