The Federal High Court sitting in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, today declared that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has no candidate for the November 16, Saturday governorship poll in the state.
The court ruled the governorship primary conducted by APC in Bayelsa was not done in compliance with the party’s guidelines and constitution.
Mr Heineken Lokpobiri and others had challenged the primary in court, seeking a nullification of the party’s internal election that produced Lyon, alleging that it violated its constitution.
APC had on Tuesday held a mega rally in Yenagoa where Lyon and his deputy were handed the party’s flag by the National Chairman, Mr Adams Oshiomhole.
