FAMOUS REPORTERS
If anyone had pre-informed David Lyon and his Deputy, Biobarakuma Degi-Eremieoyo, Bayelsa Governor- elect of the APC about the impending trauma perhaps efforts would have been made to avert the pain and agony.
Here was a man whose mind was set to assume the office of the Governor of the state before dusk but alas, all his hope suddenly became a bucket of water off a duck’s back.
Famous Reporters recalls that the Apex Court in the country has earlier today, nullified the election of the Governor-elect of Bayelsa State, David Lyon on the ground that his running mate, Degi-Eremieoyo presented had presented a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The five-member panel of justices of the apex court led by Justice Mary Odili, in a unanimous judgment on Thursday, ordered INEC to immediately withdraw the Certificate of Return issued to them and at the same time issue a fresh one to the party that secured the second highest number of votes and got the required constitutional spread, which is PDP.
The below photos show Lyon rehearsing his swearing-in ceremony before the sudden nullification of his election by the Supreme Court.
