The Bayelsa State Elders Forum has rejected the judgement of the Federal High Court disqualifying the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Timipre Sylva, ahead of the November 11 election in the state. The elders in a statement signed in Yenagoa by its Chairman, Chief Michael Adomokeme, posited that the presiding judge erred in

point of law in his pronouncement, which was based on the claims that Sylva had taken the oaths of office as a Governor twice and was no longer qualified to vie for the governorship ticket of his party.

Already, we commend the legal team of our party for swiftly appealing the judgement and applying for a stay of execution of the verdict, which we believe is a miscarriage of justice. 'We believe that the court would not allow the 2019 scenario to repeat itself where against the will of the people, an unpopular candidate was foisted on our people.
