The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) on Thursday told the Bayelsa Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal in Abuja, that it made correction to the name on the exemption certificate of the deputy governor, Sen.Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, at his request.

The Service, represented by Mrs Keziah Okonofua, stated this while testifying as a subpoenaed witness in the petition filed by Mr Ebizimo Diriyai, who contested the Nov. 16 governorship election in the state on the platform of Accord Party.
Diriyai had dragged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC); Gov. Douye Diri; Ewhrudjakpo and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before the tribunal.

The petitioner is claiming in the petition that the deputy governor forged his NYSC exemption certificate, which he presented to contest the election.

The petitioner further alleged that the person Ewhrudjakpo claimed was his elder brother who deposed to his declaration of age was even younger than him going by the date of birth therein.

Diriyai is seeking for an order of the tribunal to disqualify Diri and his deputy on the ground of the alleged forgery and declare him the duly elected governor having polled the second highest votes in the election.

The NYSC representative stated that she was before the tribunal as a subpoenaed witness to tender some documents and testify.
She then tendered the subpoena, and two letters written and signed by her on behalf of the NYSC’s Director-General to the

Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria police.

In the letter addressed to the DSS, dated March 10, 2020 the NYSC confirmed and reiterated that it corrected the deputy governor’s name.

The second one, addressed to the police, dated Dec. 20, 2019 also confirmed and reiterated that it was the NYSC that corrected the deputy governor’s name from “Ewhrudjakpa” to Ewhrudjakpo.

Led in evidence by Diri’s counsel, Chief Chris Uche SAN, Okonofua told the tribunal that Ewhrudjakpo sometime in 2019 wrote to the NYSC to effect a correction in the spelling of his name on the exemption certificate issued to him by the Service.

According to the witness, the deputy governor asked that the Ewhrudjakpa on the certificate be changed to Ewhrudjakpo.

She informed that the Service promptly changed the letter “a” to letter “o” on the certificate.

While being cross examined by counsel for the deputy governor, Mr Chukwuma-Machukwu Ume SAN, the witness stated that the letter she signed was written in response to a letter sent to the NYSC by the DSS.

She further told the tribunal, while being cross examined by counsel for PDP, Mr Emmanuel Enoidem, the witness stated that some former corps members sometimes asked NYSC to effect changes on their certificates.

Counsel for the petitioner, Prof. Amuda Kannike SAN, however, asked the witness to read some portion of the NYSC’s letter to the hearing of the tribunal, which she did.

Douye Diri's mandate is a divine one, touch him and get burnt immediately, this was revealed to me from the outset. Another revelation to me is that his second term ambition is non-negotiable, for it will be gotten with ease and less squabbles.

Space booked

The election of the governor was not ordinary even 24hours before being swore in...l was not surprised when he said Pastor Adeboye told him that he will win at the tribunal nobody saw it coming.

Wow,prof kannike.highly connected man,top law lecturer.ebizimo is very intelligent unlike opuama.he knows he will be the direct beneficiary if diri is sacked so he went to the court with seasoned lawyers unlike that boy opuama.I was even thinking that ebizimo and his party withdrew their case from court.

Yes, because NYSC had not made the correction as at that time and when they eventually did, hence, the two certificates. But mind you those were not two original certificates. The first original was retrieved before he was issued the corrected version. I really hope you thrown in the towel and wait till 2023, Diri will still emerge, finish his second term and eventually install his successor. Bayelsa is PDP and PDP is Bayelsa

Do you think that kinda unprecedented rigging will happen again by 2023?? Where southern Ijaw will be amassing over 120k votes for APC?? Well, by the time PDP sacks APC from the center, you will come and use your Army and police for the rigging let's see.

Yes, with your rigging machines in place bah?? Using federal government apparatus to rigging election brazenly. But because his mandate was a divine one ab-initio and because you can't play God, his mandate was returned to him via court. So quit already because there is no how Diri won't finish his two tenures and even install his successor/stooge
