Bayelsa Guber: Rights Group Asks APC To Adopt Lyon As Consensus Candidate Politics
“Consequent upon the above, the right thing to be done by the party is to give David Lyon the ticket of the party. Also, there have been reports of some aspirants for the election that have run contrary to the provisions of the Electoral Act and it is important to caution the party to take steps to prevent the party from running into litigations that may affect its chances of fielding a candidate for the election.
“Section 84 reads: “Where a political party fails to comply with the provisions of this act in the conduct of its primaries, its candidate for the election shall not be included in the election for the particular position in issue.” “We hereby join our voice to the several voices that have raised alarm on the infringement of the electoral act that the minister of State for Petroleum, Timipree Sylva has been cleared by the APC screening committee to contest for the election”, the statement added.
The group further urged the party not to forget in a hurry the outcome of similar situations in the state in the last elections where the party won the governorship election at the polls but lost out in court over pre-election litigations.
