The Federal High Court sitting in
Abuja has disqualified the Deputy governorship candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in the November 16, 2019 governorship election in Bayelsa State.
The court disqualified Senator
Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo, over false information in his CF0001 form submitted
to the Independent National Electoral Commissioner (INEC) to contest the
election.
Delivering the judgment, Justice
Inyang Ekwo, pointed out that he found no nexus in the name on his
school-leaving certificate, first degree (BA), Masters and the affidavits he
swore to correct his name.
The judge held that all his
documents bore different names and he, consequently disqualified him on the
ground that he provided false information to the electoral body to stand for
the election.
Degi-Eremienyo and the APC
governorship candidate, David Lyon and INEC were dragged to court by the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who sought the disqualification of Degi-Eremienyo.
