The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal filed by the All Progressives Congress’ candidate in the last governorship election in Bayelsa State, Timipre Sylva.
The seven-man panel of the apex court led by Justice Tanko Muhammad, on Tuesday unanimously affirmed the election of the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate, Governor Seriake Dickson, who was returned as the winner of the poll by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Delivering a summary of the lead judgment, Justice Muhammad said he would give his reasons for his decision on November 18.
The apex court delivered the judgment after a marathon hearing of various cases filed with respect to the dispute over the last year’s governorship election in Bayelsa State.
