Following Thursday’s Supreme Court Judgment that nullified the election of David Lyon, ( Breaking: Supreme Court Sacks Governor-Elect Of Bayelsa ) the All Progressive Congress (APC) candidate in Bayelsa State gubernatorial race, the National Chairman of the Party, Adams Oshiomhole has written a petition to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), asking for conduct of a fresh poll.
The petition which was dated 14th February 2020 noted that the Apex Court did not void the votes that the APC polled at the election, adding: “The implication of this is that the votes of the APC must be reckoned with in determine whether any other candidate polled majority or lawful votes cast in one-quarter of at least two-third majority of the state.”
Continuing, Adams Oshiomole said: “We have reviewed the judgment of the Supreme Court and we are of the firm opinion that the candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party cannot be issued Certificates of Return and/or sworn in as Governor and Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State respectively.”
In a seven paragraphs petition, Adams Oshiomole is of the opinion that, the judgement of the Apex Court must be reviewed.
The petition in full is uploaded below for your consumption.
Recall that Adams Oshiomole has at the wake of the supreme court judgement Vowed That No Candidate Would Be Sworn-In In Bayelsa,
a statement that has angered PDP to say on two occasions that: Adams Oshiomole Is Ranting
and at another time PDP IGP that Oshiomole Should Be Held Responsible For Violence That Erupted In Bayelsa On The Diri Swearing -In.
