This is exactly what the Law states. Once the deputy governor has any electoral issue, it automatically affects the governorship candidate.

Except if, this aspect of the Law is revised (which in my own opinion should be.)


And if you are challenged now to show us the electoral law you are talking about, you won't be able to because it doesn't exist.

Justice Mary Peter-Odili AGAIN!!!

Justice Mary Peter Odili is a genius. She delivers when every hope is lost. Just give her any reason to smile and She will give you reasons to laugh and wish you married an Apex Court judge.

Bayelsa: Rerun Election is likely in Bayelsa :PDP Cannot be Sworn in
The nation is still stunned by the Supreme Court judgement delivered on the November 2019 governorship elections held in Bayelsa. The five-member Supreme Court panel had invalidated the candidacy of the All Progressives Congress, APC, David Lyon and his running mate and ordered that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, issue a fresh certificate of return to the candidate of the party with the next highest votes who meet the constitutional requirements.
While the People's Democratic Party, PDP, and its candidate have rushed to the street and the media to celebrate, a close perusal of the election results of the actual elections last year shows that the candidate of the PDP, Duoye Diri, and his running mate also failed to meet the minimum constitutional requirements to be sworn-in as governor. This may mean that's it's too early to celebrate.
The constitution is quite clear that to be declared winner of a governorship election, such candidate must have garnered at least 25% votes in at least two-thirds of the total number of local government areas of the state. Two-thirds means that for a candidate to be sworn-in, he must have garnered at least 25% votes in at least 66.7% of the total local governments in the state. The PDP candidate fell agonizingly short, at about 63 percent.
Bayelsa is quite peculiar in this regard with only 8 LGAs, the winner of a governorship election must garner at least 25% of votes in at least six Local Government Areas, LGAs. This means that 25 percent votes in five out of eight LGAs that the PDP candidate got in this case is not enough to have him sworn-in. According to the constitution he needs 25 percent in six states. Even if sworn-in, a strict interpretation of the constitution will have him removed before long.
This is surely going to bring up a constitutional crisis because you can be sure that APC and PDP are in for another round of anxious returns to the courtrooms.
A summary of the governorship elections results are as follows
Ekeremor LGA results: Passed
APC: 21,489
PDP: 18,344
Southern Ijaw LGA results: Failed
APC: 124,803
PDP: 4,898
Ogbia LGA results: Failed
APC: 58,016
PDP: 13,763
Yenagoa LGA results: Passed
APC: 24,607
PDP: 19,184

PDP: 10,410
Kolokuma/Opokuma LGA results: Passed
APC: 8,934
PDP: 15,360
Nembe LGA results: Failed
APC: 83,041

Wrong.
Lyon and his deputy ran on a JOINT ticket.

Our constitution does not permit individual candidacy.


Lie kill u there!!! Audu/Faleke is a reference point, our Judges are the problem in this country, highest bidder has the last laugh. Shior

For the children in the house....

This is the beginning of the case

Lower courts earlier decision

Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja had, on November 12 2019, disqualified the APC governor-elect on the grounds that his deputy provided false information to INEC.
Mr Ekwo held that there was no connection between the name on the candidate’s school-leaving certificate, first degree (BA), master’s degree and the affidavits he swore.
However, the court of appeal set aside the decision of the trial court and affirmed the election of the APC candidates.
The three-member panel of the appellate court led by Justice Stephen Adah said that the PDP did not prove their case against the APC candidates.
The court held that Mr Degi-Eremienyo submitted an affidavit which showed evidence of his change of name from Adeyi-Eremienyo to Degi-Eremienyo.
“I agree with the appellant that the owner of the school leaving certificate and the GCE certificate are one and the same and I, therefore, set aside the judgment of the court below,” Mr Adah said.
Dissatisfied with the decision of the court of appeal, Mr Diri and his party filed an appeal at the apex court.
In its judgment on Thursday, the apex court set aside the judgment of the court of appeal and affirmed the decision which nullified Mr Degi-Eremienyo’s candidacy.


Everybody knows grin ;Dbut prefers to play Ostrich, serve APC right, they played into Odili's hand, that woman and his co-travellers (Judges) justified their pay, but left it to the hands of power that b, by not mentioning PDP or Diri, that y the joker the APC will use to usurp that position, as it is, Diri doesn't ave d geographical spread, wait and see.

Faleke should have been sworn in but was robbed for being a Christian by Buhari and his accomplices in Kogi.
Refer to the Atiku/Boni Haruna scenario in 1999...the constitution adequately covers issues like these.
What do you know?

Chai na wao lol.. All because of your deputy smh
the judgement is a stupid one. Do u kill a man because his wife commits murder? In a sane society, no man should die for another person's sin. Nigeria is filled with useless and senseless justices. A cou try whee the judges don't have sense will never make progress, no wonder Nigeria is what it is today.

How did
Atiku
Tinubu
Saraki
Mark
El Rufai
And the endless list of politicians get injunctions against their charges home and some abroad?
Leave that matter

Show me any human let alone politician who is "clean" of any political offence and I'll tell you he or she never walked the corridors of power or achieved the power


Mind you a JSC is not a politician like NNPC GMD or Police IG but they are all public officers or political allies or part of an arm of government

My dear Garfield neither PDP APC or their likes are friendly ghosts grin they are unfriendly ghosts

Please stop quoting and being rude to me. I am free made comment on National issues. It is left for you to critique with the level of intelligence and being ignorant of the subject matter.



You're too Dumb. This is 2020 you're still doing party things is Lyon from the North? The Atiku you supported was a former Apc member, why did you vote for him? Better wise up and stop being brainwashed by the politicians. Without individual party will not exist. There's nothing like Demonic party the individuals are the devil. [/quote]

Because Faleke didn’t participate in the primaries. The law is very clear on that, no sentiments.
If the law is very clear on that, then David Lyon deputy also didn't partake in the primaries and such shouldn't be a reason for his disqualification
