I WAS minding my business in my Abuja residence yesterday – and feeling depressed about the state of the nation – when my phone rang. It was an All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain friend.
“The Supreme Court has just returned Bayelsa to PDP (Peoples Democratic Party)!” he told me. “It’s a lie !” I exclaimed.
He solemnly assured me that he wasn’t pranking me, so I quickly called some other friends to share this political bombshell.
But nobody took me seriously to start with! The consensus was that I had been deceived and was inadvertently peddling fake news. Then official confirmation arrived via various current affairs platforms. And I still don’t quite believe what has happened: Twenty-four hours before his inauguration, which was due to take place in Yenagoa today, the Supreme Court declared that Mr. David Lyon of APC was no longer governor-elect of Bayelsa State.A five-man panel, headed by Justice Mary Odili, unanimously voted to nullify Lyon’s November 16, 2020 election on the grounds that his deputy, Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo, presented false information to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
The court held that since Degi-Eremieoyo shared a joint ticket with the governor-elect, his disqualification invalidated both of their nominations as the APC’s guber flagbearers in Bayelsa.
Their certificate of return has now been withdrawn so that a new one can be issued to the candidates – PDP Senators Douye Diri and Lawrence Ewhruojakpo (Diri’s running mate) – who secured the second highest number of votes and required geographical spread.
Many lessons can be learned from this dramatic development: The outgoing PDP governor, Henry Seriake Dickson, has been widely vilified for “imposing” Diri/Ewhruojakpo and for “ignoring” or “insulting” PDP stakeholders who preferred other aspirants or simply felt that the PDP primaries should be a totally level playing field.
And because Dickson’s “boys” were “defeated” by Lyon/ Degi-Eremienyo in November, his enemies have been gleefully describing him as a spent force whose career has ended in abject failure. Even within his social circle, many genuine Dickson pals have been worried about what the future holds for him. But everything miraculously changed yesterday!

And yet all that suffering is going on in Nigeria as a whole and bayelsa in particular.
When Odi massacre happened I wonder if you said to yourself "how lovely God must be a bayelsan"

Or what about the giant allocation that one room sized state recieves and all the oil wells it has yet no steady power supply, no good schools, no jobs nothing to show for all the resources and allocation God definitely cannot be from Bayelsa

Now you are celebrating this guy like he is the saviour, he is Jesus, I'm giving you one year max you will be disappointed. Can't you see his face? He looks like Obasanjo, Oshiomole them and he looks like he will even do less good than those men did. Lyon looked like a breath of fresh air, his face, his name, his lack of ties to numerous god father's this guy will use Bayelsa resources to settle a lot of his political god father's.
