The Court of Appeal in Abuja has reversed the nullification of the candidacy of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the November governorship election, Chief TIMIPRE SYLVA, thus clearing the coast for his participation in less than 12 days to the poll.

The appellate court in a judgment delivered on Tuesday held that Justice DONATUS OKOROWO of the Federal High Court was wrong in ordering the sack of SYLVA as a candidate of the APC in the November 11, governorship election in Bayelsa State.

The appellate court subsequently voided the decision of Justice DONATUS OKOROWO, which nullified SYLVA’S participation in the governorship election.

By this judgment, INEC would have to relist SYLVA as a candidate of the APC for the governorship election in Bayelsa State.

Justice BINTA ZUBAIRU, who delivered the lead judgment subsequently slammed a cost of N1 million in favour of SYLVA.
