Supreme Court Dismisses Lokpobiri's Suit Challenging Lyon's Emergence as APC Guber Candidate
The Supreme Court on Tuesday affirmed the nomination of Mr David Lyon as candidate of the All Progressive Congress in the last governorship election in Bayelsa State.
The court in the lead judgment delivered by Justice John Okoro, held that Senator Lokpobiri failed to file his suit within the mandatory 14 days stipulated in the Constitution. The apex court disagreed with the appellant that the cause of action arose from September 7, 2019 when Lyon’s name was submitted by the APC to the Independent National Electoral Commission as the party’s flag bearer, adding that the cause of action actually arose from September 4, 2019 when the result of the primary election was declared by the party.
