“From tomorrow, there will be no Government in Bayelsa State – Oshiomhole

Following the judgement of the Supreme Court which ordered INEC to revoke the certificate of return given to the APC candidate, David Lyon, who was earlier declared winner of the last gubernatorial elections held in the state and be awarded to the second winner.

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has declared that there won’t be any government in Bayelsa state on Friday, saying there is no qualified candidate to be sworn-in as governor of the state

He said this while addressing newsmen in Abuja at the party’s secretariat on Thursday. Oshiomhole said: “From tomorrow, there will be no government in Bayelsa state because based on the court judgement, the next winner does not even have one quarter of the votes in two third of the local governments; so which means based on the constitution, no one can be sworn-in as governor of Bayelsa state tomorrow.

“Although, as a political party, we respect the rules of laws and judgement and that is why we have asked our lawyers to explore all legal devices in making sure Bayelsans gets their mandate.”
