Former Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has reacted to the Supreme Court’s ruling that sacked the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress , David Lyon, as governor of Bayelsa State.On Thursday, a five-member panel of the apex court led by Mary Odili sacked Mr Lyon of the election on grounds that his deputy, Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo, presented false information before the Commission.
The judge also ordered that INEC should immediately declare the party with the highest number of lawful votes and geographical spread. He also urged the Supreme Court to always “show consistency in its judgments and find the resolve to always deliver just-judgments no matter whose ox is gored.”Read Mr Abubakar’s full statement:
“Senator Douye Diri had cause to visit with me before the elections and received my blessings and counsel. I am fully satisfied that he has what it takes to make Bayelsa the ‘glory of all lands’. His intellect, personality and character, are a credit to Bayelsa and the PDP.“I congratulate Senator Douye Diri and his running mate, Mr. Lawrence Ewhrujakpor. I also felicitate with the Peoples Democratic Party.
