A governorship candidate of the Liberation Movement in the November 16, 2019 election in Bayelsa State, Vijah Opuama, has approached the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja seeking the disqualification of the newly sworn-in Deputy Governor, Mr. Lawrence Ewrujakpor.
He said in a statement of facts to support the petition: “I know that the 4th Respondent was admitted into Rivers State University of Science and Technology in the year 1991. “The 4th Respondent was not qualified to contest the election in that he submitted an affidavit containing false information to the 1st Respondent.
“I know that in the 4th Respondent submitted in his INEC Form for the 16th November 2019 election a purported National Youth Service Corps certificate of exemption dated 2nd February 1998. Apart from the alleged forgery, which he relied to seek the nullification of the election, Opuama also claimed that Governor Diri, the 3rd respondent and his deputy were not qualified to contest the election on grounds of multiple nominations.
“The Petitioner avers that 3rd Respondent allowed himself to be nominated for both Bayelsa Central Federal Constituency election in the 2019 General election and the election to the office of the Governor of Bayelsa being another Constituency for the 2019 election as candidate of the 2nd Respondent.
