The candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Mr Peremobowei Ebebi has been disqualified by the Federal High Court sitting in Yenagoa for the Bayelsa West senatorial bye-election.
Justice Inyang delivered the judgment on a case of alleged forgery filed against Ebebi by Mr Richman Samuel, a former director of Domestic Matters, Government House, Yenagoa.
Ebebi, who is a former deputy governor, emerged the APC senatorial candidate for Bayelsa West in a direct mode of primary election conducted in September by the party’s primary electoral committee headed by General Abdulsalam Dahiru (retd.).
