An Appellate Court has overturned a ruling which nullified the election of Douye Diri as the governor of Bayelsa State.
The court said that the Bayelsa Election Petition Tribunal acted outside its jurisdiction by nullifying the election of Governor Diri.
In a unanimous judgment by the five-man panel of the court, the Advanced Nigeria Democratic Party couldn’t convince the court that it had a valid candidate that was unlawfully excluded by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The court discountenance the tribunal for ignoring the fact that the petition of ANDP was status barred in addition to the fact that the party presented an unqualified candidate to INEC in the November 16, 2019 Governorship election in Bayelsa State.
