The executive president, Center for the Fight against Corruption and Open Leadership, CACOL, comrade Debo Adediran, on Friday in Lagos, led the ruling All Progressives Party, APC, the Judiciary and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to clean up , about the trial. issued by the supreme court on the election of governor in the state of Bayelsa.

Let us remember that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, declared the candidate of the Popular Democratic Party, Douye Diri, as the winner of the Bayelsa gubernatorial elections.

The Bayelsa State Chapter of the Congress of All Progressives (APC) has expressed shock at the Supreme Court ruling nullifying the election of its candidate, David Lyon, as governor-elect of the state.

The Supreme Court ruled today that Lyon’s deputy Ereminyor presented forged documents disqualifying the joint ticket and nomination and urged INEC to withdraw the issued return certificate and reissue it to the next party with the required constitutional extension.

Doifie Buokoribo, APC’s state publicity secretary, said the party was shocked by the development. “It is shocking, but one thing that is clear is that the Dickson administration must leave tomorrow, there is no room for an extension of the mandate even for a minute.

“It is clear that only APC met the required margin since we won convincingly in five of the eight Local Government Areas (LGA), so without that margin I do not see how the PDP can achieve it, certainly the Speaker of the House of State Representatives The Assembly would be sworn in as interim governor.

“Those who celebrate in the PDP camp do so in ignorance,” Buokoribo said. The Nigerian News Agency (NAN) reports that before news of the trial leaked to the city, APC worshipers were in high spirits preparing for the governor-elect’s inauguration on Friday.

But INEC President Professor Mahmood Yakubu told reporters in Abuja that under the Supreme Court ruling disqualifying APC candidates from the elections, the total number of votes cast is now 146,999 and the PDP candidate obtained 143,172 with geographic diffusion.

However, when speaking with our correspondent about the result of the sentence, Debo affirmed that the Supreme Court does not care whose gored ox is, since APC violated the rules and regulations of the INEC on the candidate field.

The CACOL chief described APC as a victim of its arrogance for failing to establish a selection committee to conduct a due diligence check on the aspiring governor in Bayelsa state before wasting financial and other resources to sponsor the elections, was declared in favor of the PDP Aspirant by the apex court.

It also took on the electoral regulator for failing to verify and ensure that personal data, such as names, qualifications and other information provided by the APC candidate for governor, was correct, before allowing him to participate in the elections.

The CACOL chief wondered why Ms Mary Peter-Odili, wife of the former Rivers State Governor, was appointed chief of the five-man judges who rendered the ruling.

His words: “It is alleged that Ms. Peter Odili is sympathetic to the PDP and should have been allowed to lead the team, although the judging team made a solid judgment, no matter who is goring the ox.”

For his part, Comrade Bakare Kenny, Chairman of the Lagos State Chapter of the Civil Liberties Organization, CLO said that the political issue in Bayelsa State is critical, where politicians in Nigeria play politics as if they were games,

He affirmed that once the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the PDP candidate for governor, the law must be followed and the man swearing in, to avoid anarchy.
