Just In: Supreme Court Declares PDP Winner In Bayelsa As Governor-Elect, David Lyon Is Sent Packing

The Supreme Court today sacked David Lyon, APC governor-elect of Bayelsa State and Biobarakuma Degi-Eremieoyo, his deputy.

Justice Mary Peter-Odili who led five other justices annulled the elections on the fact that Degi-Eremieoyo, the deputy governor-elect contested for the election with fake certificates.

However, INEC has been directed to withdraw the certificate of return already issued to David Lyon and issue a fresh certificate to Douye Diri, PDP candidate who scored the second-highest number of votes.

This is coming barely a month after the highest court sacked Emeka Ihedioha of the PDP in Imo State and declared Hope Uzordinma of the APC winner.
