The Supreme Court will later today deliver its judgment on the applications for a review of its February 13, 2020 judgment which overturned the All Progressives Congress’ victory in the last governor

ship election in Bayelsa State.

While the PDP was represented by Tayo Oyetibo , Governor Duoye Diri was represented by Yunus Usman , and the deputy governor, Lawrence Ewhruojakpo, by Chris Uche . Delivering the lead judgment, Justice Ejembi Eko disqualified Degi-Eremienyo’s candidacy for presenting false information about his educational qualifications in his Form CF001 submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission as a candidate for the 2019 election.

He argued that he asked for the setting aside of the judgment because it amounted to a nullity as the procedure adopted by the court and the judgment was delivered in breach of its client’s right to a fair hearing. “That this court has the jurisdiction unqualified. The area of our own application is very narrow and they are not disputing it,” the senior lawyer said.

He noted that Diri’s lawyer, Mr. Tayo Oyetibo , admitted against his own interest that the Federal High Court never said the joint ticket held by the APC’s governorship and deputy governorship candidates were nullified.
