APC Chieftain Calls On EFCC To Investigate Its Bayelsa Governorship Candidate by Upritman(m): 6:46pm On Oct 29, 2019

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Bayelsa State, Felix Oboro, has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to investigate the Governorship Candidate of the party, Chief David Lyon in the state.

Oboro who stated this in an interview with Premium Times queried how Chief Lyon got the money to finance his emergence as APC Governorship Candidate in Bayelsa State.

"I think by now EFCC should have investigated Lyon to find out how he came about the money,” he said.

He accused the APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, and Mr Timipre Sylva, Minister for State, Petroleum of foisting Chief Lyon at the party primary because of personal interest.

The former Senator said the choice of David Lyon as the APC governorship candidate in Bayelsa has not good for the party. He described Lyon has an obscure background. Nobody knows anything about him, he said.

“I don’t think there is a single person in this country that can finance himself in an election; others must support him. But there is no reasonable rich man who will like to support a person who is unknown to them,” he added.

According to him, former Minsiter, Senator Heneiken Lokpobiri would have made a better governorship candidate for the APC.

Speaking further  Senator Oboro who is a former Nigerian ambassador to Venezuela said:

“Heineken would have had the opportunity of getting the support of outsiders.

“What’s Lyon pedigree that they feel he can win election, other than the belief that he has money to influence people to vote for him?

“What office has Lyon held before to convince anybody that he can be a good material for governorship?

Information Parrot Nigeria recalls that Chief Lyon, a relatively unknown aspirant then, defeated five other aspirants in the APC governorship primary in September, including Heineken Lokpobiri, a former minister of state for agriculture and rural development, who was seen by many as a front-runner in the race. Political Analysts traced Chief Lyon's victory to his endorsement by the Leader of the party in Bayelsa State and his long standing Goodwill of philanthropy.

However, aggrieved members of the APC in Bayelsa State including Preye Aganaba and Senator Lokpobiri are currently at various courts challenging  the emergence of Chief Lyon.
