A Port- Harcourt appeal court has order the reinstatement of the former deputy Governor of Bayelsa state, Hon. Peremobowei Ebebi, who was impeached by the Bayelsa state house of Assembly on the 24th of June, 2010 on a ten count charge.

This is coming barely eight month after a Yenagoa High court presided over by Justice Doris Adokeme had stroked out the suit instituted by the Bayelsa state former Deputy Governor .

BOF gathered that the suit filed by Barrister Wodu Kemasuode was due to the dissatisfaction of the high court’s ruling that didn’t favour their client.

In his reaction, the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), who earlier at the wake of the controversial impeachment condemned strongly the processes of the arrange impeachment carried out by the Justice Dora Adokeme led panel in the state has also lauded the appeal court for its ruling.

The party through its National youth leader, comrade Miriki Ebikina in a statement said, the kangaroo and unconstitutional impeachment of the former deputy Rt. Hon. Peremobowei Ebebi has been vindicated by the court ruling, adding that the lacked transparency, due process and the rule of law.

The ACN chieftain averred that the action was borne out of desperate deceit, greed for power and playing politics with the development of the people, indicting the state government of insulting the sensibility of the people and using state funds to pursue personal agenda.

The National Youth Leader of ACN, enjoined Bayelsans for turning out en mass in participating in the just concluded INEC voter's registration. He also implored them to do same in the forth coming general elections by casting their votes for the candidate of their choice and ensure the results are counted at the polling station.
