The Problem Of Godfatherism In Nigeria: Bayelsa As A Case Study by Ebios(m): 10:43am On Nov 26, 2019
Let's forget abt English."
"We know him."
"He is a philanthropist".
"We know him".
"He will bring development to the state". Etc

#OK. #Agreed! #YesWeHaveAgreed.
But l hope we are also aware that he is not the ONE coming SOLELY to rule the state. He is in a PARTY and even promised in his speech that he would NOT FAIL the PARTY at the STATE and NATIONAL levels.

#Rochas of Imo State was a well known philanthropist but when he went into politics, he became a different person.Many that were poor became poorer. #Ambode of Lagos state was working well and loved by Lagosians but just because he was not doing the dictates of Tinubu, his godfather, he was removed and replaced with San-Olu. #Oshomole of Edo state has even openly said that his "disobedient" godson Obaseke won't have a second term. Etc.

So those of you who don't read between the lines of politics especially of the ruling party should wake up. David Lyon was recommended and put in there by #somebody in disguise of our votes, even though the votes counted. As you jubilate and express optimism abt his ability to development the state, also #pray that his good intentions will not be thwarted by his #godfather or #party.

Yes oh, I always have that fear. Apc is a party where godfatherism is the swag. He should learn from Dickson and know that Bayelsans dont play politics of sentiments, if you cant live up to your words, you get the booth out. The voice of the people is the voice of God. Fear god fear the people.
