Earlier today, the Supreme Court dismissed an application for review of the judgment which sacked the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Bayelsa state, David Lyon and his deputy, Senator Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo.
The aftermath of that result was disheartening for Degi-Eremienyo, Lyon's deputy who broke down in tears.
This was coming after Justice Amina Augie who read the judgment said the application lacked merit and the decisions of the court are final.
