The All Progressives Congress APC, has rejected the judgment of the Federal High Court sitting in Yenagoa which disqualified the party’s candidate from participating in the forthcoming Bayelsa State governorship election on Saturday.

The party at a press briefing on Thursday said that it would appeal the judgement as its lawyers were already working on the processes to first secure a stay of execution.



Recall that a federal high court sitting in Abuja had disqualified David Lyon, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa state.

In an order issued on Wednesday, Inyang Ekwo, the presiding judge, nullified Lyon’s nomination as the party’s flag bearer in the forthcoming election over failure to field a qualified deputy governorship candidate in the election.
