APC writes INEC, demands fresh governorship election in Bayelsa vanguardnews
The All Progressives Congress says it has written to the Independent National Electoral Commission demanding for a fresh governorship election in Bayelsa.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Supreme Court had on Thursday nullified the election of APC governorship candidate in Bayelsa, David Lyon. “The party’s National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole while affirming the supremacy of the Apex Court, forwarded a letter to INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu titled: Judgement in Appeal No: SC.1/2020 between Peoples Democratic Party and APC, requesting for conduct of fresh governorship election in Bayelsa,” he said.
“When the Supreme Court decided against the PDP on the Imo governorship poll, the party in protest by its National Chairman, Uche Secondus, went around the European Union, UK and US embassies wailing that ‘Nigeria’s democracy is under threat.“This only goes to show that these foreign concerns and all Nigerians must be wary of such politics and insincere antics of the PDP.
