Bayelsa Election TribunalThe Bayelsa State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja has fixed May 3 for the commencement of the hearing of the petition file by Mr Timipre Sylva.
This is coming after Mr Sylva, who was the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Bayelsa State governorship election, challenged the return of Mr Seriake Dickson as the duly elected Governor of the state.
At the resumed sitting of the tribunal, ‎Justice Kazeem Alogba, directed all the parties to prepare their witnesses before the full commencement of hearing.
He added that the conclusion of pre-hearing trial was to enable the tribunal guide the parties properly, stressing that no application would be entertained once the hearing begins except for applications with very good reasons.
The tribunal ordered the petitioner to open its case on the set date while the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is to open its defense on May 10.
Governor Dickson is also expected to open his defence on May 20 just as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would take its turn on May 30 as the third respondent.
Lawyer to the petitioner, Felix Okoroti, and that of INEC, Alex Ejesieme, expressed satisfaction with the conclusion of the pre-trial hearing.
