The deed is already done. The primaries that produced him stand nullified. This Port Harcourt court is wasting APC's money. What the court ruled on is stay of execution. Even after election his votes will not count.
Kwanza:
An Appeal Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State has restored Hon David Lyon as the All Progressive Congress (APC) governorship candidate for the November 16 governorship election.

The appellant Court ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) not to remove Lyon as the candidate of the party based on an earlier ruling by Justice Jane Inyang of the Federal High Court who nullified the governorship primary election that produce Lyon.

The Appellant Court order followed an ex parte motion filed by Lyon through his counsel challenging the judgment of Justice Inyang.

It even got to a ridiculous level that the Judge of the high court even added and granted what Heineken Lokpobri never asked for. He was even shocked and surprised and had to reject it.

There's nothing new there, it happened to Ayogu Eze then in Enugu and finally the man lost the election.

This new style PDP has resolve into is a bad trend. They succeeded in Rivers and Zamfara and still think it will work in Bayelsa. I am thinking EFCC urgently needs to investigate these judges that give such judgment. Let the people decide on who to vote for and not Court.
What does pdp have to do with internal party problems of the APC, in zamfara, rivers and Bayelsa it was aggrieved APC member who went to court. Please leave pdp out of your problem and mind you this is just an interim injunction.

I still don't know why PDP is afraid of a contest. They are just parading all manners of court to seek disqualification of APC candidates. Let's go to the field. Man up PDP
It was an APC member Heineken lokpobiri that went to court and not pdp

Despite being the smallest state, Bayelsa remains one of the richest and most under-developed states in Nigeria.

Come tomorrow, go all out Bayelsans and vote Positive Change. Vote development. Vote David Lyon. Vote APC!!!

LOL... The point of the ruling/stay of execution, is to allow the excluded party to participate; otherwise, it would be an irreversible injustice to the excluded party/candidate if the Appeal Court is to later rule that the Trial Court was wrong to have excluded the APC candidate.

In other words, the votes for the APC will continue to count after the election, unless and until the highest court the case is eventually dragged to, nullifies the party's candidate.

Even at that, the APC people can claim the Judge was doing the biding of the PDP by awarding a relief the petitioner never asked for, and disqualifying his party altogether to favour the PDP. You dig?

Is it the fault of PDP when APC fails to put things in order? If the PDP finds a loophole why won't they capitalise on it?

What played out in Ekiti and Osun states were enough to get PDP thinking out of the box bro. With the advantage of money, power and security forces, you think PDP should just keep quiet and lose more states? In this case a member of the APC went to court and not the PDP. Don't you read the news?

Bro you need to look at the issues arising before drawing your conclusion. What is the EFCC expected to do with the judges? Force them to confess to electoral crimes which they did not commit? Force them to produce monies not collected?

Bros na wah for you sef. Are you from Panya or Sudan abi na Khartmandou?
