The supreme court had Thursday nullified the election of Lyon — who was due to be sworn in on Friday — on the grounds that his running mate forged his credentials.

It ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue a certificate of return to the candidate with the second highest number of votes and with the required geographical spread in the state — believed to be Diri Duoye of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

But the APC leadership kicked against the judgment, and said no one else would be sworn in as the governor of Bayelsa.
