Bye-Election: Court Disqualifies APC Candidate For Alleged Forgery

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.).
