'I didn't forge my certificates'' - Sacked Bayelsa deputy gov elect, Biobarakuma Degi - Edoman - 02-21-2020 'I didn't forge my certificates'' - Sacked Bayelsa deputy gov elect, Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo says Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo, the former Bayelsa state deputy governor-elect whose election was annulled alongside the governor-elect, David Lyon, by the Supreme court on February 13th, has denied claims that he forged the certificates he presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission for his election. The Supreme court nullified the November 2019 election of Lyon and Degi-Eremienyo, on grounds that the latter ran for the election using fake certificates. However at a press conference he organized in Abuja on Thursday February 20th, Degi-Eremienyo, said he needed to clear his name because the court’s decision has left him “traumatised” and open to “assault”. He told journalists that all his certificates are in public, and that they can easily be verified. Quote:“The aim of this press conference is to defend my reputation which the justices of the supreme court, whether consciously or unconsciously, subjected to scurrilous scandal, assault and unfair imputation. Let me state that some of my primary school teachers are still alive: Chief Eredogiyo Watson, Chief Allen Obebe-Orukari and Susan Otiotio. He called on all security agencies to investigate the claims that his certificates were forged. Quote:“Judges including justices of the supreme court are free to request law enforcement agencies to investigate persons who appear before them as to the commission or otherwise of crimes,” he said. by |
