Lyon: Bayelsa youths condemn attack on Supreme Court justices
TRACKING_____Members of youth wing of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State yesterday condemned the continued assault on the Justices of the Supreme Court over the February 13, 2020 judgement that sacked APC governor-elect, David Lyon and his deputy, Senator Biobarakumo Degi for supplying false information.
Suspected thugs had yesterday morning taken over the Abuja home of the lead judge, Justice Mary Odili, calling her unprintable names for heading the panel which nullified APC’s governorship victory in Bayelsa State.
Dume said: “Why blame Justice Mary Odili? What is her role in our party screening and primaries? Is she the one who asked us to field a candidate with fake certificates? We should be careful not to worsen the already bad situation. People are beginning to see APC as a party that lacks due process, and of fraudsters.
“It was the same Justice Mary Odili, who they now malign that gave the judgement of February 12 to affirm the candidacy of Lyon and Degi. The sudden about turn projects us as sore losers.”
The youth leader asked APC faithful to hold responsible the Minister of State for Petroleum, Chief Timipre Sylva for the party’s loss at the court, saying “we have on good authority that Sylva knew about Degi’s forged documents, but yet went ahead to field him so that APC might lose.”
The Supreme Court had on February 13, 2020 nullified the election of Lyon and his running mate, Degi on the ground that the latter forged his school certificates. Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Senator Duoye Diri, has since been sworn in as governor.
