The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal filed by the All Progressives Congress’ candidate in the last governorship election in Bayelsa State, Timipre Sylva.
The seven-man panel of the apex court led by Justice Tanko Muhammad, on Thursday unanimously affirmed the election of the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate, Governor Seriake Dickson, who was returned as the winner of the poll by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
The Bayelsa State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal had earlier dismissed the petition filed by Sylva to challenge the outcome of the election.
