The All Progressives Congress (APC) and its governorship candidate in Bayelsa, Timipre Sylva, have demanded the disbandment of the state’s election petition tribunal sitting in Abuja over alleged bias.
The petitioners alleged that the tribunal headed by Justice Adekunle Adeleye was biased in the conduct of proceedings, findings, and decisions and demanded its outright disbandment and reconstitution.
Sylva, former minister of state for petroleum resources, and his party are challenging the victory of Governor Douye Diri in the November 11, 2023 election in Bayelsa.
