It was reported that on Wednesday November 13, Justice Inyang Ekwo nullified Lyon’s nomination as the APC’s Govenorship candidate and also stopped the party from fielding any other governorship or deputy governorship candidate for the poll. On Thursday November 14, a federal high court in Yenagoa annulled the primary election which produced Lyon as APC’s governorship candidate. INEC was also ordered not to recognise any APC aspirant who partook in the primary.
