The Supreme Court on Thursday nullified the election of Bayelsa State governor-elect, David Lyon and his running mate, Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo, who were already preparing to be inaugurated into off

ice.

A five-man panel of the apex court led by Justice Mary Peter-Odili ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to withdraw the Certificate of Return issued to the All Progressives Congress’ candidates as the winners of the November 16, 2019 governorship election in the state. The apex court ordered INEC to issue fresh certificates to the candidates of the party with the next highest votes and with the required constitutional spread of votes in the results of the election, which are the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidates.Justice Ejembi Ekwo, who read the lead judgment of the apex, made the orders after disqualifying the APC’s deputy governorship candidate, Degi-Eremienyo, as a candidate in the election.

The court upheld the November 12, 2019 judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja which had disqualified Degi-Eremienyo in the election for submitting forged certificates to INEC. The court ruled Degi-Eremienyo’s disqualification had infected the joint ticket with which he and the governorship candidate, Lyon, ran for and won the November 16, 2019 election.

Like imo like bayelsa.

Please APC should take back bayelsa and give Kano to PDP

And their family members had finished preparing to start living in government house oh

I sincerely congratulates PMB that the Judiciary is doing very well under his leadership. It is left for APC leaders of our great party to learn from error of Bayelsa primary selection and in future primaries of party candidates to do screening processes RIGHT .

Can some one help me ask Father Ejike Mbaka how the spirit of prediction couldn't help him this time around....

Tge caliphate wants to completely Install their puppets in all d eastern states. Bayelsa people una mumu don do

“In 1999, there was a similar case in Bauchi involving Governor Adamu Muazu. D court found dat his running mate was not qualified 2 contest dat election & d Supreme Court nullified the election of Governor Adamu Muazu and order INEC to conduct a fresh election.

The election should therefore be re-conducted. What's wrong with the supreme court? The election rather be nullified than given the mandate to someone people never voted for. The supreme court now imposes leadership on the citizens. Oh! What a country.😭😭

Sir, I know you will not believed it, but it has happened. Please take heart. All the fault and mistake is from the party APC, and the so- called committees who are just good for nothing but to just collect money & propaganda. No screening at all.

Mr Lyon is the architect of his misfortune. He knew his deputy had a terrible issue, but decided not to do the needful by replacing him. Maybe he was under pressure and made to believe in Federal Might for the usual magic. He lawfully contested election without a running mate.

BayelsaDecides2019 Bayelsa Bayelsa

Isn't there suppose to be a kind of repercussion on Inec for every cases like this. Maybe then they will be more serious and upright, Inec is the cause of our powerless/useless democracy in Nigeria. Alas, every system in this country is faulty. God help us.

What sort of madness is this?

BiafraGadi Apc Gov of Buhari in Nigeria is very very bad so Biafra must free .

Oluwa kilon supreme gan?

The basis for this judgement is incomprehensible; there have been clearer cases where the SCON judgement was also absurd. The judiciary, the last hope of the masses, is seemingly 'hopeless'.

Have many cared to ask what happens other parties failed to meet other requirements aside total number of votes? This should be the worry as it does appear that none of the other parties had the required spread in the election. This could be yet another legal logjam loading.

Useless country like nigeria 🇳🇬 ruled by brainless imps. They just want to use this bayelsa case to justify the travesty they did in Imo state. Well, they can only fool the gullible ones and not the woke ones like me. MAD PEOPLE EVERYWHERE IN NIGERIA!

This report is not entirely true. OfficialPDPNig was not declared winner

Supreme court on steroid!

Our electoral process is failing indeed. INEC would need to do more to redeem itself worthy of public trust. Almost every election is disputed because the process is ill. God bless Nigeria.

I'm sure many of you people here didn't read the whole story before commenting

Fake news from obviously partisan medium. Show where SC declared PDP candidate winner.

Let's pray and hope that Tanko won't tanko dz judgement

Whoa Nigeria is now moving towards development in judicial sector......and not justice with ethnicity and favouritism.......

After teaching Dickson a lesson, they went back and gave Diri. The same guys who gave Lyon, gave it back to Diri... To secure his loyalty, and PDP in the state... My analysis... Jonathan and Patience did something here!

Crazy

Pdp all the way....🤣🤣🤣🤣

Correct!!!!....but what was APC deputy governor thinking, that he would present fake certificate and expect to go Scott free?.... This is fair judgement from the supreme court!

VAR show face for extra time and cancelled the one zero they were playing since. I talk am say one zero no be winning...

If Deputy Gov elect dies before inauguration must the Gov elect also die with him bcos of joint ticket? Honestly, this verdict seems like compensation for PDP over Imo State governorship tussle btw Ihedioha and Hope.

Very painful. But it will not subvert the will of the people to reject darkness and sadistic satanic evil man.

🤓

Chi bo anu ozo 😱. So, elections can't be concluded now without politicians going to court? I hope they won't wake up tomorrow and announce the person who came 4th as the winner. 🤔 O di kwa egwu o. 🙆

Uwa na eme ntughari.

Let's see what happens in Kogi's case

Electoral Reformation is the key

Checking VAR if it is inconclusive 😱

Trade-off for Imo. So we spend billions printibg ballot papers and waste people's time only dor sone people to decide the evntual winners.

This man don't even look prepared to govern

Ok

Are all these coincidences? 1. Tape circulates of a hearing in USA on anti democratic acts of Naija supreme court 2. Rumor spreads that Lyon is dragging appointments with HE Sylva, his apparent godfather 3. SC fires Lyon, One day before his swearing in as Bayelsa Gov

Why didn't the man present affidavit? After all, it was accepted for someone

Smh....

We thanks Almighty for this great success

So sad that, it was his deputy that rock his boat. Take heart David Lyon.

This happened in Nigeria? 2020; this will go into history book.

This man looks mean

Since Supreme Court has the final say, no need of INEC again in this country.

Why do I have a feeling INEC will push Nigeria into some crises soon?

Punch punch, did the supreme court declare PDP winner?

Adams oshomole should face Godwin obaseki and leave bayelsa people to have peace ✌.

How can a man who doesn’t have the required spread (2/3rd) of the total votes cast be declared winner ? The S/C didn’t say PDP. It said the next person that scored the 2nd highest votes and 2 /3rd should be issued certificate of return. Who’s that ?

var sef beter oo

follow and I follow back asap thanks

When will call it Zoo u understand

Since supreme Court now has d final say of what use is inec? But please oh dat abracadabra dat happened in imo state must be reviewed

This shows the rotten state of the judicial system. When the Executive made an attempt to address this anomaly, Nigerians were crying 'rule of law' where is the rule of law? We have rule of injustice. Despicable judiciary with justices who are worse than thieves & armed robbers

PDP should start another protest tomorrow to reject the judgment this is the same supreme Court they are castigating

The forging of certificate only favor the president through the principal of immunity. Other politicians should be careful and sure of their files.

APC is the architect of its misfortune here.

Haba Punch! Did the Supreme Court declare any candidate as the winner?

What a Country. D Court s no longer d last hope of d common man. 4 me wit dis result, Inec shuld b scrapped since Court nw decides who wins an election. 2023, am contesting as a Governor in my State don't ask me d State, I wil only campaign, afta d elections, straight to Court.

Wherever law ends, tyranny begins!

I see 'Pasiparo' exchange of something here.

😂 😂 😂 😂 Tea

a nice one

Good job, that uneducated man is an insult to our collective intelligence

Congratulation to P.D.P at list using it to honour the former president.

Why blaming the supreme court? Who were the body saddled with screening the aspirants ?When the process is compromised, we shouldn't pass the buck .The case of Bayelsa is quite different from that of Imo state that is begging for justice .

It won't be long before those hoes start to switch parties again.

God is wonderful. Must be must be

Where will former President be hearing this, after voting against his party candidate. Kai.

Beautiful news

Why Mbaka no see this judgement?

God is working this is not man efforts

All the aso Bri Ithe wife has made ,

I hope they arrested the 'deputy gov elect' after the judgement!

The puppet show has began

What a joke of a country

Still waiting for Mbaka to announce it 🙄

Mm mm, dis shows how badly INEC and our electoral laws have failed us as a nation. We need serious electoral reform NOW!

This is Nigeria,look how we living now

Supreme court favours PDP...

Meaning we didn't have a best governor in 2019 with this latest development

This is why I withdrew from Nigeria politics it's all a movie. Let's wait for more seasons.. Nonsense

Judiciary is working... PDP

PDP only gets the win if 'they scored the highest valid votes and had the required spread as requested by the constitution' so says the Supreme Court

If you won an election don't celebrate wait for supreme Court to decide in other to avoid heartbeat💔, also applicable in EPL matches coa VAL also breaks heart💔 too.

What a joke!

E be things

So sad news on your part(Lyon) and a celebration to another person. The reason for your sack is clear

Our democracy is in danger

What an irony!

In africa our leaders are operating under the same time zone in sierra leone member of Parliament were kicked and replace by the second in terms of just bcz they are the party in power by our stupid supreme Court

They compensate PDP , they collected IMO state and live bayelsa for PDP

Is very unfortunate that APC lost Bayelsa this time around. As a party of progressive the people will continue to remain resolute and compassion in the Party activities.

Lmao..... Nigeria and it's jokes sha

Which kind wahala is this? After full 90 mins and 5 mins extra time, ticket still cut. His plans to give it to his wife hot hot hot tomorrow has been shattered shattered shattered. 😂 😂

It can never be well in Nigerian government and it's body

People of Bayelsa being inadvertently robbed of their right to choose their governor due to party flaw. Would have been correct to fine Bayelsa APC and call for new election. There should be no victory by default in critical elections!

we do not need INEC again, Supreme Court are now returning officer

Wawu!

Nawao.. So it has gotten to this... SMH

Hewu!

I don't know what to call this, should we say that the electorates don't have the power to choose who rule over them? No!!! But when the INEC refuses to clean the mess in our election, the court get the power to declare who the winner of an election is.

Demikiwala is silent!

One day, one drama God bless Nigeria forever!

This Judgment further underscores the need for political parties to conduct a thorough vetting of all it's aspirants before handing tickets to them.

What happened to those PDP members that defeated to APC? Lol

Gbam!!!!

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Well done Supreme Court 😂

Shame to APC

Substitution mood in Nigerian government to balance the equation😁😁😁😂😂😂😂

My annoyance is that the INEC chairman who conducted the election have not been penalised for conducting incredible election. He is still keeping his job as INEC chairman that's the highest level of mediocrity in this government of buhari.

Nobody gets jailed for electoral crime afterwards, INEC staff responsible for all these rubbish should be punished accordingly. The Electoral act has guidelines which INEC and party agents keep messing up

*PDP MUST LEAD A PROTEST FOR THIS RULING* That crazy driver must be recruited to do more crazy Moves again.

Na wha oooo this kind village people strong.

They are just looking for a Narrative to back n Justify Gov.Ihedioha's sacking.. They Once Shiny Supreme Court has been turned to rubbles in matter of Months by Tanko Everything Almajiri Touches Turns to Dust.

Blood pressure would go up in Bayelsa

Dissolve supreme court

It is better as the S.Court have retraced their steps. Turning Nig politics into 1party system through them is disastrous. You may be in a higher position today, what about 2morow? Let the S.Court complete their good work by reviewing Imo judgement so as to save their good name.

This is a great news indeed. Congratulations to the PDP

At this point I think INEC is a useless waste of taxpayers money! What then is the essence of Voting?

Am just waiting for one judgement to know whether. Let me hold it there

This is a sad tale, no matter how you see it!

Inauguration rehearsal earlier today in Bayelsa State. Supreme Court sacked him when he was attending the rehearsal

Same Supreme Court... Different Judgements. PDP: **In Imo** Our democracy is under attack. Supreme Court must review judgement. We must protest. **In Bayelsa** Justice has been served. Our justice system has done well. 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Democracy is pivotal to transparency.

It's 1:1 btw APC and PDP. IMO (APC) vs Bayelsa (PDP)

Democracy is a government of the people by the Supreme Court and for the people

Waiting for the sack of INEC chairman

APC only wants to balance the equation

Well, you win some, you lose some. The Court has spoken and that's final. Oh, note how APC didn't protest Odili's membership of the panel. It is PDP that is evil and must die.

This judgement is more sensible than that passed in favour of APC's Imo State Governor

Save yourself the headache of Bayelsa Davidlyon SupremeCourt and follow AfriCanadaVisa AfriVisa and get your stolen sanity restored.

Supreme indeed

Hmmm this is unbelievable but the Deputy governor caused the failure

A day to enjoy the glory of being a governor, Lyon gets booted. Lesson for the rest of us, vet and revet whoever and whatever you want to make use of. Thanks for attending my TED talk.

Nigeria politics... A game of football Players: party contestant Referee: INEC fans: Masses VAR: Supreme Court FA: ruling party

Lyon, o lo gbe oloorun t'ira

PDP WILL CONQUER NO MATTER WHAT. SOUTH SOUTH IS OURS

May God God deliver this guy from the spirit of near success. God don catch APC, all the people they massacre to rig this guy in. The day reckoning is here.

I don’t respect or trust our judiciary anymore, all hopes on it suspended until the current CJN abdicates the position for a more knowledgeable justice , not divisive , not a sharia trained lawyer who had his law school thrust upon him in Saudi Arabia.

Let's the drama continue in this country. Many more to come. Crossing my leg to see more😅😅😅😅

Wow good one for PDP

Is a lie 🙄

Democracy is in danger

_Habidiz

yeeeeeee

Nigeria Judicial has been the problem of the country since...

thekashope keeps winning!

Was that a collective responsibility?

Big hell of a joke

Chaii.. Dey no even let d Lyon start at all 😃😃😃😃🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Hahaha... Olagbara o

Gbas gbos government

Their criminality is catching up to them.

Bad news 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Damage control

1/1

Hmm! After BABA's judgement, let's do the right thing. Sc makes a u turn.

Tanko ain't getting any props from me for doing this. Na audio smokescreen. What they did in Imo will taint the SC forever

What a bad Valentine Gift to these celebrants! Will they ever forget Valentine Days moving forward?

I bet Tanko wasn’t on that beat ..but how does a deputy forging a certificate affect the main gubernatorial candidates 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Daylight robbery

Jesus ooooo

Thanks but we are waiting for same supreme court to reverse their ruling on Imo state thats daylight robbery

Compensation for imo disaster, this tread is really bad for our democracy.

What do we say to the God of democracy..... 😂😂😂😂

Supreme Court will destroy the country

This is just a modality to balance the equilibrium against the anomaly that occur in Imo and Kano states....

Politics: It's always a NEVER say a NEVER particularly in Nigeria!

If you look at Imo state and Bayelsa State judgements, you will know that Supreme Court didn't do Atiku well.

Supreme Court indeed...🤡🤡🤡

Interesting times

I wonder what INEC is doing while court now make decision for them, I believe judiciary should just take over

I feel sorry for Lyon the way I felt sorry for Ihedioha.. this one na fake certificate saga.

Hmmmm, just sit down dey look here. Nigerian judiciary!!!

This a win but not a yardstick for the injustice in IMO state

What exactly is inecnigeria job with pre-election verification?. INEC is actually a big problem to our electoral system. They are grossly incompetent.

It's a shame that politicians have messed up our country, using forged certificates is a crime punishable by law. Therefore he should be prosecuted. I pity Lyon who is the greater losser.

Deputy Governor forged certificate they used it against Governor, what the hell are they talking about. You guys should watch out, fight will soon start now. After doing victory party, one stupid court is now telling me that I'm not the winner again.

A confused man is the CJN all the governors will be watching their back now since they don't know who's next

If God be for you, no man can be against you.

APC and Results Forgery...... Like father like Shildren What do I know self 🏃🏃🏃

Away with him, away with him. Lol.

That is what we see when education is restricted only for a few.. Give Nigerians education irrespective of their demographic affiliation.NGRPresident MBuhari officialnyscng free NOUN IMPLEMENT2018NOUNBILL

Nigeria is just a theatre nothing more

wiilkilz Scam!!🤯

Nigeria has become a jungle. Anything is expected at anytime. Abi they want to compensate PDP for the national embarrassment called jugement they did in Imo state. Nigeria political system has grown bitter and the judiciary is just a VAR to scatters people joy.

What a wawu!!

Father Mbaka did not see this.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Congrats PDP will u guys protest this one too?

Does it mean that INEC never screened the candidates before the elections? Nigeria is becoming really scary. INEC must put asides partisanship and do the job it was mandated to do

Will not bee better we save time, money and energy doing elections and allow the Supreme Court to vote and determine our leaders for us? Methinks it is better.

Is over in this Naija inecnigeria see where una Don drag Naija reach.. Una selection method isn't what we gonna used to decide the process further more

Is this what people call 'Painful Exit'?

What about kogi

Chineke

Supreme Court of Nigeria with different unfold drama What a nation

The states that have concluded on their election appeals in the supreme court should thank their gods, else we would continue to witness this 'take this and give me this'.... SUPREME INEC

oluwaloninyo They use him as collateral damage ...they want to use it to compensate people to like APC but they will keep APC Governor in IMO state

Timi Alaeibe incoming

Good for APC, I pray that will also happen in kogi State too

To be honest, nothing to celebrate here. It just shows how badly INEC and our electoral laws have failed us as a nation. We need serious electoral reform NOW!

Is Buhari qualified to remain the president?

Imagine the damage done by our electoral commission....unorganised election leads to bad governance

Consolation goal.

Why didn't he swear affidavit

Hope some of you opened the link before making comments here?

Which kind drama be this?

Bombshell of a lie

The rogues have been found out!! APCNigeria fkeyamo MBuhari can now drown in any nearest lagoon!

What exactly are this hunter Chief justice Tanko want to do with Nigeria 😲. This is not funny at all. Reform this election law before these 'in'justices of Tanko supreme court sets Nigeria on fire.

What is this again?

People claiming that OfficialPDPNig is not complaining should point holes in the judgement like we did in the Imo judgement.

var decided

The Same supreme Court that nullified imo state election? I'm confused 😩

APC and certificate forgery are just one and the same. Just like Buhari, they are an entity of fraudsters

The judgement however final seem shallow.Kind of to compensate for Imo.A concrete, more defined reason should be a reason to disqualify a deputy governor candidate and nor in joint

I love this country, what a nollywood country

Bad news ever.... 😭😭😭😭😭😭

That means APC will come out to protest the judgement, waiting for that move.... idiots and predictable set of pple

Why submit a forged certificate?,end-time deputy Governor.Very painful one

🤣🤣🤣

This judgement is not built on solid rock. Deputy Governor forged certificate you sacked the Governor!. I hail the odilis

Habaaa! Shame on INEC. The best thing is to scrap INEC.

In Nigerian politics & law, it never rains but pours!

Ohhh BAYELSA no be owerri o.... People are about to lose their lives. Jesus

The destiny of the Ex deputy gov elect of Bayelsa state has affected the destiny of the ex gov. Elect. Lyon and his family will never forgive the deputy thy kingdom come

Victory for democracy according to PDP

Honestly Mary Odili is very corrupt. She was behind many shady deals during GEJ presidency.

Wow, so another additional years of suffering? Wawu

Why is democracy fluctuating between being in danger and not in danger like this 😀😀😀

I hope PDP wont be saying Supreme court is dead

Las Las na Supreme Court go take their imolate themselves. Confusing judgements everywhere.

Wow! What a news oooo! APC with forgery are like 5&6. From their tyrant ruler to the least person. Useless party!

Oya PDP should protest this one too.

Nigeria and the judiciary system is a big joke

Which kind of country is that court is the one deciding who win election and not the actual voting process? This is becoming a circus. Yeye dey smell.

Victory for the OfficialPDPNig .. Now GEJonathan should hid his head..he never supported the PDP candidacy due to Dickson overbearing influence and now, the supreme Court had vindicated the bayelsa people for been PDP stronghold.. Kudos to PDP..

Good I don't even want to hear that name APC is anoying

😂 😂 😂 😮

Imo former Governor chop small money before they removed him. Lyon never test the seat. Lyon saw the promise land but didn't enter it like Moses🤣

When you think you've seen it all another one happens.. This is Nigeria

Thank God

Can we now applaud the Supreme Court? Can we now hail the Judiciary? Can we now clap for Justice Tanko? Can we now exonerate PMB not interfering with Nigerian democracy? Can we now end the protests? Democracy in action in Bayelsa. Democracy in danger in Imo.

I'm wondering why Honourable Justice Mary Odili didn't recuse herself from this matter, seeing that her husband, Chief Dr. Peter Odili was/is a staunch member of the OfficialPDPNig. All the same, congratulations to Senator Diri and the PDP. Same people though.

APC is a party that has refused to learn Zamfara, Rivers and now Bayelsa. Edo and Ondo loading Expect more of the same Get rid of that Chairman that has outlived his usefulness NOW PDP do not need to campaign in any further elections APC in their folly will do the job for them

If I am to blame anyone, I will blame INEC, I will blame the electoral acts.

NaijaFlyingDr Democracy is in danger

Oh!! Sorry added affidavit to his false information

Lol! God is great!

How dangerous is this to Democracy, OfficialPDPNig UcheSecondus

Lmao in how many days to inauguration

See as deputy use fake result spoil person own

Did he not add affidavit to his fake certificate?

Free market country

The people of Bayelsa want to have nothing to do with Dickson anymore but supreme Court and APC will not allow them. This case was pre-election, they could have sorted it out but no, they just have to go this way. The third state they are losing because of negligence.

Good news.

LocusBendi

I tell you the whole arm of government is in mess. Sometimes I just wonder is it because we overdo things or we just see others as a minor to what we have achieved.

Who you follow, indeed, determines what follos you!

What is now the need for INEC then if the electorate can no longer decide who will rule or govern a particular state funny how we fold our hands watch everything go down in this country

Hmm, I'm short of words. It's a shame how the deputy governor screwed the governor.

Congrats to him.

The judgement is very sound. Fake certificate saga. Don't expect to eat your cake and have it.

My mother in-law just called me now from Bayelsa, this is actually happening. How did this happen...

At One Time They Will Say A Vote For The Party, At Another They Will Say Vote Of The Individual.

This Politics Dey Confuse Me.

Nothing usher no go see for church door

Supreme Court is only trying to appease the PDP, using Bayelsa State to say PDP we are sorry for that historic mistake on IMO case. They knew the strength of dent that ruling has brought to the Apex court and Nigeria govt before the international community. Smart game there.

Do we have electoral laws in this nation?

PDP all the way 💪💪

Bayelsans desperately yearned for APC, but then when they are so zealous to not put their house in order, the laws will always expose the shortcomings of their candidature. That said, this is not victory for PDP, they messed up in Bayelsa, but we hope they learn a thing or two.

Big joke 🤣

The didn't even allow him to act as 'One-day Governor'🙂 Calamity!

Hope PDP will allow us to rest today it Favours dem you will hear the judiciary is the last hope of a common man our electoral process is a mess in this country

Do me I do you, God no go vex 😂

So the people's vote no longer count...supreme court automatically turn to electorate

When did the supreme court become the electoral institution. They're just nullifying elections left and right, why bother voting again?

He only ended up as Governor-Elect 🙆🏿🙆🏿🙆🏿🙆🏿🙆🏿🙆🏿🙆🏿 Him village people wicked o chai 🙆🏿 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Ah! ElRufai has not visited them

Supreme Court again?

Hmmm,President Goodluck ooo,Gov.Dickson is happy now

I very happy to hear dis at least APC should not enta d core Niger delta state, delta bayelsa and river State 😆😆😆😆

In a sane country, it's the deputy that would be disqualified... But in my dearest country Nigeria where everything is becoming jokes, the Governor Elect was disqualified because everything now is beyond repair. May God have Mery on us. Very sad story

Those of you who accused the Supreme Court on Imo Governorship Election Judgment, what do you have to say on Bayelsa NOW?

Wait. What's going on exactly?

Its too bad that Inec has been rendered irrelevant.

what is INEC responsibility in making sure justice, fairness, unbiased results collation and transparency prevails in the ballot, since what we see this days is nullification of a supposed previously declared winner of a particular election? lately is was IMO now it's BAYELSA

This man resembles Ashley young!

I'm confused

Father Mbaka watagwan

What a luck this time

wickedstepmami Nigga what

TA LEQO TA KOMA

They should go back to imo and re-nullify again bcos the technologies used in that judgement is faulty. God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬.

I don't mind a PDP governor in Bayelsa State, to be honest I don't in all circumstances, My concern is the levels of alcohol🍷 in CJN Tanko Mohammed brukutu God'! Who's next, Nigeria 'don Jagajaga' 'Fela!'

AlexAgbo23 VAR has decided, It’s a penalty.

The most funny thing about these Judgements is the reactions of party fan boys! What is it with these PDP and APC e_warriors wanking themselves over these things when these politicians barely know you lot exist? Tueh!

Kiss but no bite na them give this man.

I was so sure Justice Mary Odili was on that panel. Sure woman... Nice one!!!!

Justice Mary Odili again? Apc should know better by now well democracy is safe now.

Buhari forged certificate you also went to forge. There's an adage in my place that says ' a rat that contests jumping on trees with monkeys will certainly have a broken leg '.

Maybe, just maybe the Supreme Court will one day end democracy in Nigeria

So this guy was still a Governor elect, why did he say he won the award for the most performing Governor Bayelsa so una get confirm weed sha!!!

Dickson has laughed finally

What is wrong with dis country judicial decision,they removed PDP in IMO,now APC is being remove in Bayelsa.I suspect politics is being played here.

Rubbish,to appease pdp for IMO state judgement.revisit the imo case joor

The more u look the less u see, shame to Nigerian Judiciary .

Politicians and forged certificates sha.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Are we marching to the US embassy or not?

This is great news. Democracy is working. Congratulations to PDP.

interesting....Naija judiciary to the world!

Jesu

Balancing the equation

I don't like APC one bit tho I wanted to see what Lyon could do as Governor considering PDP really messed up the state. Well, let's see.

We seemed to have forgotten that goodluck visited buhari recently, what do u think the meeting was for? U think it is to seek advice from goodluck about bokoharam, they av sealed deal of scratch my back, I scratch yours

Nigeria politics is madt🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Hmmm. My country my country

Chaiiiii this thing can pain... May these near success syndrome never befall us in Jesus name!

So ballot box no more decides election results but the courts. Demo-crazy

How do u use a deputy furged certificate to nolify election ppl actually vote for the governorship candidate not his running mate the courts r part of our wahala

Let them kukuma scrap INEC since Supreme court is now deciding who wins election. INEC is loosing its credibility everyday in the hands of our Judiciary.

How come?

On what grounds ?

I expect the APC leadership to also protest this ruling seeing as PDP think the constitution empowers them to challenge judgements of the Supreme Court

Shosholosho

seunomoakinola seunomoakinola well played 👏, Game on👍. powermustchangehands Imo, now Bayelsa

Having a bad day just read Nigerian headlines and be sure to 😂 🤣🤣

Probably a consolation from the Imo saga

Really?!

Ah, serious, Nigeria is changing

Minority ruling the majority like Imo like Bayelsa

Democracy is active now 😂😂

ManchiRalf

Hmmmmm

Democracy is in danger ' where are they? 😂😂😂

With the Supreme Court nullifying the election of APC candidate in the last Bayelsa State Governorship election, I hope PDP will still continue with their call on international organisations and countries to come and save Nigeria's democracy which according to them is in danger.

E don happen

Pdp Justice Mary Peter-Odili was part of this evil in beyelsa again

Bayelsa has paid the price for Imo state. Can PDP rest now?

No more rigging of election

PDP 1 APC 1 - can we now move on?

What a development.
