Bayelsa election: Lokpobiri's lawyer in shock over disqualification of APC candidate Lyon

The camp of APC aspirant, Heineken Lokpobiri, who went to court to challenge the emergence of David Lyon as the governorship candidate of the party is in shock -

The Federal High Court refused to grant Lokpobiri's prayer that Lyon should be replaced with him - The court instead ruled that the party does not have any lawfully-selected candidate in the forthcoming election The camp of Heineken Lokpobiri, one of the aspirants that contested the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries ahead of the Bayelsa election, is currently lamenting its decision to challenge the outcome of the poll in court.
Lokpobiri had approached the Federal High Court in Bayelsa to declare him the authentic candidate of the APC in the state instead of David Lyon.

But, in a twist, the court, which was presided over by Justice Jane Inyang, ruled that the governorship primary conducted by the APC in the state was not done in compliance with electoral guidelines and the constitution of the party. Confusion in APC over sack of deputy governorship candidate in Bayelsa, party reacts to court ruling Consequently, the court declared that the APC has no candidate in the Bayelsa election.

In his reaction, Lokpobiri’s lawyer, Fitzgerald Olorogun, says he was shocked by the court's pronouncement because it was not part of their prayers. “It’s strange,” he said. When asked about the next move by the party, the lawyer said the court's decision stands and as a result of this, the APC has no candidate in the forthcoming election. He, however, assured that the necessary steps will be taken to address the decision of the court appropriately. Recall that Lokpobiri had been urging the people of Bayelsa to vote for the APC in the November 16 election, despite his court case against Lyon and the party.

The court on Thursday, November 14, ruled that the APC had no candidate for the forthcoming gubernatorial poll in the state.

In reaction to this, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to take note of the decision of the court.

Dickson certainly paid for the judgement. How can a Judge grant a request not sought after?

The judge went out of his way to declare what will favour his paymasters. Even when such request was never presented before him.

The Supreme Court Judges reviewed the case before them. Also the Tribunal dealt with the case extensively.

It was a case of the Supreme Court reviewing whether or not the earlier judgement was wrong based on all the evidence provided.

But in this instance, the judge went out of his way to make conclusions that was not sought after by the plaintiff.

I was laughing too when I read the statement of court ruling. The prayer was for the court to replace lyon but the judge did another thing entirely like seriously the desperation of pdp is scary

Appeal court will fling the judgement out of the window with speed of light.

Besides apc got stay of execution today so Dickson should go and prepare for Saturday instead of getting bend down select judgement to push opponents out of the race

Dickson knows he does not stand a chance, he resorted to seeking a backdoor option.

Dickson did as he liked for 8 years. The people this Saturday will get their revenge.

The judge was obviously compromised. How can the court grant a request that was never asked for? The fact that the judgement was given two days to the election when appeal would be impossible says it all.

It's like you go to court to sue your friend for stealing from you, and during the proceeding the court finds out that your friend commited murder while stealing from you,and gives a judgement of death sentence, then you start crying that what you only wanted was just for the court to force your friend to return to you what he stole.

It was lawful,even the judge attested to that.the issue was the result declaration wSnt done by the eleco chair.
It is like you went to court to get a debtor to pay you.the court either agrees or declined but instead the court says the debtor should pay money to someone else who never came to court

Did the court do a separate investigation to know that your friend killed somebody, since it was not presented to them by the appellant?

A classic example of “what goes around comes around”.

I believe you’re smart enough to understand.
