A five man panel of the apex court presided by Justice Mary Peter-Odili nullified the election of Lyon on the grounds that his deputy, Senator biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo presented false information to INEC in aid of his qualification for the November 16 governorship election in Bayelsa State.

The next level movement for David Lyon has pushed on Facebook demand for Justice to prevail.

'We need our governor, (David Lyon) he must be sworn in Today'.

The streets is already into panic as everyone is so choked on the recent judgment giving by supreme court nullifying David Lyon and declaring Diri the winner of November governorship elections.

Some are claiming it is unprofessional for the supreme court to have made such judgement on the last minute.

We just hope the day goes well in Bayelsa State, as boys don already dey vex.

Engirigbo

Why is Mary Odili's name tied to the judgement? Was name of the Judge that headed the panel of Suoreme Court Judges that presided over Imo election saga tagged to that judgement?
I abhor this hypocrisy.

Politics in Nigeria is a game of chess... So many jobless pawns will be sacrificed for the officials!!!

NB: Be an official and never a pawn

No tension please. When justice kudirat kekere-ekun decided on the imo case, nothing happens.

Lol supreme court did not declare anybody winner... And is not degi am sure u meant Diri

When I hear people say school na scam, I just shake my head. Las Las school na scam, but you go later go forge certificates take contest election.

As a nation, we need to take actions so things like this never happens again. What will be the faith of APC deputy governor elected. Will he forge certificate and still go free when he has deprived loving bayelsans of their choice.
This case is not a case of APC and PDP rather it's between the will of the people against a fraudulent result forger. The court ruling should not just stop by declaring PDP winner but also jailing the useless forger.

We all know what happened in Edo.

There's no Valentine for APC in Bayelsa state.

People will say justice Mary Odili is a PDP mole but the truth remains due diligence was followed. How can a party this big make such a mistake of making a fraud a deputy?

Duoye Diri is your Governor.

Case closed. There is nothing you can do about it both the thugs and non. Thugs can't do anything.

No mind them

I have read and had witnessed that when any time a Court' judgement should favour the PDP, her party members and the supporters will hail the declaration. When anytime a judgement should favour the APC, the PDP members would, usually blame the APC for interference and manipulation of such a judgement. I had expected that the INEC who has been saddled with the responsibility of conducting verifiable and good elections would not be questioned for their role. Example is the Zamfara saga. The PDP accepted the declaration of the Supreme Court.

The Imo State declaration of the Supreme Court remained unacceptable to the PDP but the one for Bayelsa State would be greeted with ovation. The Imo State matter was taken to Trump of the USA for his instructions to Nigeria that the Judges' decision should be reversed.

The Supreme Court's declaration on the Local Government Chairmen reinstatement was a good one in Ekiti State but in Oyo State wherein the Supreme Court told the PDP that the Governor lacks the power to sack the Chairmen is still been contested by the PDP.

I believe that to some extent, people should have confidence in the determination of the Supreme Court Judges, perceived/interpreted collectively or individually as either bad or good.

And bayelsa ?

This is a zoo, I'm not disappointed at all. It just shows that there's no need for voting and election, since the voting/rigging can be upturned at the court, meaning the people's choice can be overturned at the supreme court.

On this particular case, the verdict is not fair, the people voted for the person of the governor, why not disqualify the deputy and leave the governor. But this is Nigeria, anything can happen anyhow..

Also may the souls of Igwe and Lolo Nnamdi Kanu, and all the faithfully departed by the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen

Nigerians are just hopeless.
Supreme Court cases are decided by 5 judges, majority carries the vote.
That Justice Mary Odili read the lead judgement doesnt mean she's the one that removed the governor-elect.

The Supreme court has spoken, which should be final, as it is all over the world.

It all depends on who the indigenes of Bayelsa want and not what the Hypocrites that have never stepped their feet on Bayelsa state are shouting about.

For those of us that are not card carrying members of any political party, but only vote for good men and women that we believe can move their immediate environment forward (same reason all of us @[/b] voted for our darling Daddy in the presidential election and voted for another candidate in another party in our state of residence, no apologies ro Sanwo-Olu!)

[b]It is sad that the days intellectuals (from opposing and different political affiliations) discuss politics on the political threads on Nairaland is gone and now it has gone to kids, hypocrites and dirty agberos that curse and abuse their mothers and fathers with no reasonable and sensible posts to contribute)

Lastly......

It is a always good and refreshing to see that we have a President who does not intervene in the rule of law.

Elections In Nigeria now,
There is no need to fear.
Why? Because the will of Nigerians will not be subverted. Never! A President once told us in this country that the coming polls would be do or die.
Not with President Buhari. Fair is fair. No foul play. Under his watch, his political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has lost gubernatorial elections in Bayelsa, Oyo State and Anambra states.
At the last Council of States meeting, Gov Willie Obiano publicly registered his appreciation to President Buhari, for the level playing ground he made available during the election in his state. With do or die apostles, and a certain political party in power, such would never happen. Not with their garrison mentality. All states are territories that must be conquered, willy-nilly.

APC has won gubernatorial positions under Buhari in Kogi, Ondo and Edo states. The victories were fair and square. The party lost in Bayelsa, Oyo, Anambra etc.
This President would never manipulate victory for anyone, not even his own party. And you ask us not to trust him?
We will, and no mistake.


God bless our darling Daddy President Muhammadu Buhari.
God bless Nigeria.

Okoroawusa:

When was the last time I told you that I love you ?

Lol
Just 3 mins ago sir!
All of us @[b][/b] love you too.....it's Valentine's Day.
Let's share the love around!
Stay blessed Chairman!

Hmmm

Tension or no tension... Can't change anything, lass lass mumu go die for nothing

Even making the Senior Jurist more popular.....

Very sound and unanimous judgement, she will be here with us till 2022.

Yet they won election there fair n square. It is the lunatic Buahri I blame for this miscarriage of justice if the fraudulent proclamation by Odili, wife to renowned PDP criminal is allowed to stand.
