Bayelsa: Appeal Court Orders INEC To Retain APC, David Lyon On Ballot

The Independent National Electoral Commission has been ordered by the Appeal Court sitting in Port Harcourt not to remove the All Progressives Congress and its governorship candidate, David Lyon, from the ballot.

This will also allow APC and its candidate contest in the November 16 governorship election in Bayelsa State.

The court gave the order following an ex parte motion filed by counsel for the Bayelsa State governorship candidate, David Lyon on November 14, 2019.

Recall that Naija News had reported that Lyon was disqualified by the Federal High Court sitting in Yenagoa, the state capital.
