INEC speaks on Supreme Court ruling on Bayelsa governorship - Premium Times Nigeria

Nigeria’s electoral commission, INEC, has said it would study the ruling of the Supreme Court judgment nullifying the election of the candidate the All Progressives Congress , David Lyon, as the winner of the November 16 governorship election in Bayelsa.led by Mary Odili sacked Mr Lyon on the 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, the winner.But an INEC spokesperson, Festus Okoye, said the commission ”would go back to its operations department and find out which political party came second in the polls as required by the courts,” DailyTrust reported.

“So, what the commission would do is to go back to its operations department and make a determination on which political party came second in the election and which political party got the geographical spread in the election,” he said.

I don't know if INec is making things difficult for itself or institutions making it difficult for aforesaid commission. A winner declared -- just becos d deputy has a fakecertificate; a ticket was cancelled. Who verified d deputy's certificate after submission b4 election?

kizicharly Yakubu doent think he's supposed to resign?

Since the Supreme Court now decides who won elections, who rules & who shouldn't, INEC should focus more on organizing the election & detach itself from announcing results. We now have the supreme court to do that unchallenged!

The Apex court has spoken

They have nothing to speak because they are not independent.

Nigeria sef, inec said that they are going back to check Who took 2nd 😂 😂
