The Federal High Court sitting in Yenagoa has adjourned the case filed by a governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress in Bayelsa State, Isikima Johnson, who is challenging the eligibility of the party’s deputy governorship candidate, Joshua Maciver, for the November 11 polls.
Justice Olaide Quadiri adjourned the suit to September 13 after all parties agreed on the date during the court session.
Johnson insists Maciver was allegedly convicted of murder and terrorism by a Court in 2006, and as such he was not qualified to be the running mate to the APC governorship candidate, Timipre Sylva.
She is also arguing that Maciver allegedly lied on oath when he declared that he was not an ex-convict when he filled out his form by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
