Nabena hails judgment turning around preclusion of Bayelsa Deputy Governor-elect

Jennifer Yusuf

Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Yekini Nabena, has hailed Monday’s Appeal Court judgment turning around a previous decision of a Federal High Court, which precluded the party’s Deputy Governorship candidte, Senator Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo, from participating in the November 16 Governorship political race in Bayelsa State.

Tending to journalists yesterday in Abuja, the Bayelsa-conceived APC chieftain expressed gratitude toward the individuals of the state for their unfazed backing to the APC and its Governorship and Deputy Governor-elect regardless of what he depicted as the underhand strategies of the Peoples Democratic Party to subvert the desire of the individuals.

Nabena said: “Governor Seriake Dickson and the PDP tried all their dirty tricks and illegalities including frivolous court actions, violence, election rigging, vote buying and voter intimidation to manipulate the electioneering process. The Bayelsa electorate stood firm and the will of the people prevailed.

“Going by Monday’s ruling by the three-member panel chaired by Justice Stephen Adah, the legal action undertaken by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was a clear case of abuse of court processes. The PDP ab initio knew that they had no case but insisted on taking everyone on a wild goose chase. That is the beauty of democracy and the rule of law. The PDP have had their opportunity to see through their case, however baseless.

“We can now look forward to the handover date when Bayelsa will be rescued from the failed administration of Governor Seriake Dickson and the PDP. Bayelsans can also now look forward to the administration of Governor-elect, David Lyon, which will usher in pro-people programmes and also support and consolidate on President Muhammadu Buhari’s developmental and Next Level agenda for Bayelsa State.”
