Buhari Congratulates David Lyon, APC Supporters by Lagosfinder(m): 7:07am On Nov 18, 2019 |
President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Bayelsa state governor-elect David Lyon of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Lyon shocked his PDP challenger Senator Douye Diri, by winning the governorship election on Saturday by a large margin, in a state hitherto a stronghold of the PDP, since 1999. His victory was announced by the returning officer, Prof. Faraday Orumwense, Vice-chancellor, University of Benin, at the INEC Collation Centre in Yenagoa on Sunday night. Lyon won in six out of eight local government areas and scored 352,552 votes while the PDP candidate polled 143,172, more than half of the votes coming from Sagbama LGA, home base of Diri’s sponsor, Governor Seriake Dickson. Buhari in a statement on Sunday night commended Lyon for the impressive victory, the first time the APC would win a governorship post east of the Nigeria since its formation in 2014. President Buhari also commended APC supporters in particular and Nigerians in general in the State who exercised their civic rights in a peaceful manner, notwithstanding the pockets of unrest recorded in some locations. Condemning the loss of lives in Bayelsa, particularly prior to the election, the President commiserated with the families of the victims. ‘‘Violence during elections vitiates our commitment to demonstrate to the world and upcoming generation that we are a people capable of electing leaders in a peaceful and orderly manner.’’ He noted that while officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies did their best within the ambit of the law to ensure free, fair and credible elections, it was unfortunate that pockets of unrest, mostly sponsored by desperate politicians, were recorded during the poll. The President looked forward to working with the incoming government to improve the lives of the people in Bayelsa State, while ensuring the security of lives and property of all citizens. President Buhari urged Governor-elect Lyon to carry other divergent interests along in the next phase of governance, imploring those not satisfied with the outcome of the poll to seek redress through the constitutionally established channels. https://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2019/11/18/buhari-congratulates-bayelsa-governor-elect-david-lyon/ 15 Likes 3 Shares

I never doubted the emergence of Lyon as governor elect all odds were against Dickson. Our politicians always fail to learn, Okorocha and Oyo state last governor experience should have taught him a lesson. He lost, and has lost political relevance. 48 Likes 1 Share |

I will also congratulate David Lyon. The outgoing Governor, Dickson, shot himself in the foot. Rigged or not, you cannot successfully rig where you are not popular. Though the electoral act should be revisited to incorporate electronic voting system which will address some of the present challenges. 21 Likes 2 Shares |

There is no doubt, the problem of Nigeria is not from the politicians but the masses. Not just the masses, the poor, fools, and idiots. A large number of idiots can bring in the wrong leaders into power. It is time to open the eye of the masses for them to wake from their foolishness. Our religious leaders should help with this! Idiots and foolish men will not make the country to move forward! Check my signature 5 Likes |
