The Court of Appeal has set aside the judgment of Justice Iyang Ekwo disqualifying senator Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo as the deputy governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the just-concluded Bayelsa governorship election.
In a unanimous judgment of a three-man panel of the appeal court delivered by Justice Abudulahi, the appellate court held that the Justice Ekwo of the trial court erred in law and in breach of the appellants right to fair hearing.
