The Bayelsa State Governorship Election Tribunal has ordered that the state’s Deputy Governor, Senator Lawrence Oborawharievwo Ewhrudjakpo appears before it on Thursday to produce the original copy of his disputed certificate.
The subpoena was issued on the request by the candidate of the Liberation Movement in the November 16, 2019 governorship election in Bayelsa, Vijah Opuama, who is challenging Ewhrudjakpo’s qualification to stand election, alleging that he submitted a forged exemption certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission before the election.
Lawyers to the petitioner, PIus Dande Pius, and other parties in the case did not object to the application to withdraw the motion, challenging the subpoena.
