THE Court of Appeal sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, has ruled that the immediate past Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, has a case to answer in the suit seeking to disqualify him from contesting the recently concluded Bayelsa West senatorial election.
The appellant, Owoupele Eneoriekumoh, had through his lawyers, Pius Pius and Ebikebuna Aluzu, approached the Court of Appeal seeking to set aside the ruling of the Federal High Court sitting in Yenagoa. He explained that the appeal was based on whether by the provisions of section 31 , and of the Electoral Act and section 285 of the 1999 Constitution, as amended, the originating process of the applicant was statute-barred.
From two-term Governor to the Senate, can't these folks take a break to at least write a book?
