ABUJA– The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Tuesday, refused to disqualify the former Minister of state for Petroleum Resources, Timipire Sylva, from contesting the forthcoming governorship election in Bayelsa state as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
He stressed that an uncontroverted report that was produced by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, confirmed that the primary poll was validly conducted and also monitored by the electoral body as required by the law. The court said it found no reason to place any probative value on documents the plaintiff presented before it as reports from the police to show that no primary election was held in the state by the APC.
The court held that the duty of police during the election was to provide security for both the electoral materials and voters.
