A federal high court in Abuja has dismissed a suit seeking to disqualify Timipre Sylva from contesting the Bayelsa governorship election scheduled for November 11.In the suit filed on April 27, Ogbomade Johnson, a governorship aspirant in Bayelsa, sued the All Progressives Congress , the Independent National Electoral Commission and Sylva, as first to third respondents, respectively.

She claimed that the APC failed to conduct a valid primary election contrary to the provisions of the Electoral Act and guidelines of the party despite demanding and receiving N10 million from each aspirant. The judge faulted the police reports for not being on letterhead papers to give them a semblance of originality.Also, the court dismissed the suit for being filed outside the 14-day timeline stipulated by the law.
