The Court of Appeal, Abuja, has vacated the order nullifying the candidacy of Chief Timipre Sylva, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State.
A Federal High Court in Abuja had disqualified Sylva as candidate of the APC in the November 11 governorship election.
The high court had declared that Sylva was not qualified to run in the November poll because if he wins and is sworn in, he would spend more than eight years in office as governor of the state.
