The Bayelsa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC)
has described a judgment disqualifying.
its Deputy Governorship Candidate for Saturday’s election,
Senator Biabarakuma Degi as dead on arrival.
The Publicity Secretary of the Party, Doifie Buokoribo said:
“The judgement occasioned a miscarriage of justice, is glaringly
perverse and against the weight of evidence before the Court.
“We are totally surprised that the Court could despite the
objections by our lawyers, go ahead to determine a weighty criminal
allegation of falsification and fraud solely on the bases of
affidavit evidence contrary to well established judicial precedents
that such must be proved beyond reasonable doubt by calling oral
evidence.
“We strongly believe that the judgment can not withstand a
superior judicial scrutiny, therefore, our lawyers have filed a
notice of appeal and other court processes to arrest the execution
of the judgment pending the outcome of the appeal.
“We call on all our members and supporters not to be distracted
but continue to peacefully mobilize for the November 16, 2019
elections”
