Federal High Court in Abuja had earlier disqualified Degi-Eremienyo from the election for the same reason.

A three-man panel of the appeal court chaired by Justice Stephen Adah ruled that the high court erred in law and in breach of the appellant’s right to a fair hearing and reversed the judgement for Degi-Eremienyo to contest the election.

However, a five-man panel of the Supreme Court led by Justice Mary Peter-Odili said the former deputy governor-elect’s academic credentials were invalid and ordered INEC to withdraw the certificate of return issued to Lyon. The court ordered INEC to issue a certificate of return to the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate Senator Douye Diri who came second in the election.
