In a judgment handed down on Thursday in Yenagoa by Justice Sylvester Odili on the petition marked EPT/BY/HR/01/2023 that was filed by the candidate for the All Progressives Congress, Michael Olomu, the National and State Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal in Bayelsa State declared that the election of the member representing Sagbama-Ekeremor Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, Fred Agbedi, was invalid.
In some voting units and wards in the Sagbama and Ekeremor LGAs, where the election was marred by violence and other anomalies, the tribunal further ordered INEC to hold a second election within 90 days.
