The Bayelsa Chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed shock over Supreme Court ruling nullifying the election of Mr David Lyon as the Governor-elect for the state on Thursday.
The Supreme Court had ruled that Lyon’s deputy Ereminyor submitted forged documents which disqualified the joint ticket and nomination and urged INEC to withdraw the certificate of return issued to them and reissue same to the next party with the require constitutional spread.
Mr Doifie Buokoribo, the state APC Publicity Secretary told newsmen in Yenogoa that the party was shocked at the development.
“It is a shocking one but one thing that is clear is that the Dickson’s administration must leave tomorrow, there is no room for elongation of tenure not even for one minute.

“It is clear that only APC met the required spread as we won convincingly in five out of the eight Local Government Areas (LGAs), so without that spread I do not see how PDP can make it, certainly the Speaker of the state House of Assembly would be sworn in as Acting Governor

“Those of them celebrating in the PDP camp are doing so in ignorance,” Buokoribo said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that before news of the judgement filtered into town, APC faithful were in high spirit preparing for the governor-elect inauguration on Friday.
The governor-elect had earlier visited the proposed venue for his inauguration at Sampson Siasia Stadium, where he rehearsed for the ceremony.
Reacting, Mr Daniel Alabarah, Special Adviser to Gov. Seriake Dickson said that the Supreme Court ruling in favour of PDP was “the will of God”.
“The PDP victory is not by our own power, it is the will of God. Many have defected to APC since the election but today, victory is for us.
“I believe the victory is for Bayelsa and not only for PDP. We want all parties to come together and we can move the state forward,” he said.

I Myself is in Shock too!!

Diri is a Miracle Governor!!

How can you be in shock when the APC have a penchant for certificate forgers thereby instituting mediocres for elective posts? Instead of apologising to the nation for fielding a certified certificate forger.

Adams Oshiomole should be blamed for forwarding the name of the Deputy Gov. despite knowing the legal implication.Or did they think other political parties will not explore this ground?

It is a deep cut.

The war is not over yet, cos pdp didn't meet the required Constitutional provisions in the 8 local government, las las the election case will reach supreme Court and tanko will order for fresh election that is the end of the road for pdp

You are wrong here. The votes cast for APC are deemed void votes as APC was not a party to the election.

was the election about pdp and apc only, ?
Other parties can take up the case by seeking for fresh election since the the party that came second didn't meet up with the 25% required votes in 1/3 local governments.
If supreme Court order for fresh election apc will participate so that is the end.

What apc needs now is to use one the parties to challenge election of Diri cos they have a good case.

Remember Timi alaibe is also in court to cancel primary of Diri,

How the APC be shock about this announcement when its a glarring fact that their deputy candidate in the election file a fake wassce certificate.......abeg they should go and sit down!

Those parties scored 20 20 votes in that. None were up to 300 per LGA
