The petitioners claimed that the Deputy Governor, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, lied on oath in his form CF 001 submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in aid of his qualification for the November 16, 2019 governorship election.

According to the petitioners, the Deputy Governor, Ewhrudjakpo, does not possess the necessary academic qualification for the position of governor.

In the petition filed by the LM and its governorship candidate, Mr. Vijah Opuama, they alleged that there were discrepancies in the name of the deputy governor on his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) exemption certificate.

The same arguments were made by both the AD, UCP and their governorship candidates, Onwei Tongo and Ibiene Stephen respectively.

However, the panel in its judgment in the three separate suits held that the petitions are incompetent as they amounted to an academic exercise.

Delivering judgment in the AD’s petition, Justice S. Owodunni held that the deputy governor is eminently qualified having fulfilled the provision of section 177 of the constitution.

The panel gave similar reasons for the dismissal of the UCP and LM petitions.

On the alleged non-qualification of the respondents to contest the election, Justice Musa held that: “None of the witnesses called by the petitioner proved the non-qualification of the 2nd and 3rd respondents.”

On the issue of alleged alteration on the National Youth Service (NYSC) exemption certificate of the deputy governor, the tribunal said: “The NYSC certificate is not a requirement to contest any election.”

On the grounds of alleged forgery of academic credentials, the tribunal held that “allegations of forgery is criminal in nature and must be proved beyond reasonable doubts and the petitioner has failed to discharge this burden”.

The petitioner, who made the allegations, has failed to prove as required by law and the evidence of all the witnesses he called were neither here nor there.

“The petition lacked merit and is hereby dismissed with a cost of N200,0000 awarded in favour of each of the respondents,” Justice Musa held.

Dansuqi:
There is in pastor's case which is still pending

The Bayelsa State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal on Saturday dismissed another petition filed against the declaration of Douye Diri as governor of Bayelsa State.

The tribunal dismissed the petition filed by Vijay Opuama of the Liberation Movement and held that the petition lacked merit.

The tribunal in the judgment read by its chairman, Justice Muhammad Sirajo, held that there is no inconsistency in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) exemption certificate of the fourth respondent, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjapko and his university degree certificate.

It held that the petitioner failed to prove the allegation of certificate forgery against Ewhhrudjakpo, nothing that the petitioner failed to call the person whose certificate he alleged the fourth respondent presented.

It also held that both the governor and his deputy, Ewhrudjakpo were qualified to contest the November 16, 2019 governorship election in the state, adding that contrary to claim of the petitioner, they did not have to resign their position as senators before contesting for the election.

The tribunal further held that both the governor and the deputy governor scored the majority of valid votes in the election.

“The petition is dismissed for lacking in merit,” Justice Sirajo declared.

Tribune Online reports that the tribunal earlier dismissed two petitions against Governor Diri’s election as the state governor.

Dansuqi:
The case was never about forgery but about provision of false information if a fundamental nature.it was proven.like in imo,the supreme court will decide

Dansuqi

Dansuqi:
What about this?

No Wonder
You were following that fake picture from Facebook. Chai
Nothing like that in this case.

fergie001:
I wanted to tell him that;
Diri asked the Court to check the inconsistencies of Degi's Certificate.

Opuama is saying he forged it. So provide how?
Forgery is not a simple case.

God bless you Sir

Dansuqi:
I am convinced personally that the deputy forged his certificates despite whatever the court says.it is obvious that the powers that be do not want diri out.
Looking at the judgment,it is funny.how can the petitioner bring the person who had the certificate? What if it belong to nobody and it was forged randomly.this is ridiculous and funny and contradicts the February ruling of Mary odili.therefore, the judge conceded that a case of forgery was established

I give up on you this time. Did you see Lawrence credentials bearing different names from primary to tertiary institution like degi?. To establish forgery that the certificate someone is holding is not rightful his, you must provide the original owner of the certificate to testify in court. You were reading fake Facebook papers from vijah thinking he proved anything. I laff u

Blackking98:
Oh wow thanks

Are you serious?
No wonder.

Dansuqi:
Market is fine,I have bought half of the goods in eleme market.I bought a bag of stony,expired local rice for you

; love you bro

Dansuqi:
You didn't need to abuse him.why the pettiness? Is diri better than him? Pastor ebizimo petition left

Stop this oga. Same qualification case and its game over. You were making mouth yesterday
How market?

OBTOREPA:

fergie001:
The Bayelsa Governorship Election Tribunal sitting in Abuja has affirmed the election of Senator Duoye Diri as Bayelsa State Governor.

Yesssss. Dansuqi is in theatre right now

Dansuqi:
Guy,let's be serious.I though you are neutral.I didn't tag you for this shenanigans.if you are not ready,then let's leave it.I want mature updates.

Are you neutral? Lol

Dansuqi:
Today is the day.someone in abuja should update us.kahal,aaa593,fergie

Are you with your Oxygen?

Dansuqi:
I should be asking you.

I'm wasting my time

Dansuqi:
Yes but I know a case of forgery has been established.if you read pdp's written address,you will see that they indirectly conceded to that fact and are hoping to win the case on technicalities

Bros which case forgery did opuama established? Are you reading upside down?

Dansuqi:
You are confusing yourself

Please wait till tomorrow

Dansuqi:
Does it matter? They started it and must end it

Has any higher court of authority set aside the first one? Is there anywhere the court said inec should conduct fresh election in kogi and bayelsa state? ANDP even went to tribunal without its candidate
