FORMER Bayelsa State governor-elect, Chief David Lyon, on Wednesday absolved his running mate, Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo, of blame for his role in the truncation of his swearing-in as governor.
He asked his supporters in the All Progressives Congress (APC) to remain calm and eschew violence.
A panel of justices led by Mary Odili on February 13 asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw the certificate of return issued to Lyon and to re-issue another to the candidate with the second-highest number of votes.
The decision of the apex court was in affirmation of the verdict of a federal high court disqualifying Degi-Eremienyo, Lyon’s running mate, for submitting irregular credentials to INEC.

Lyon, reacting to the violence that trailed the Supreme Court judgment, said he had been a peacemaker and would neither support, sponsor nor direct anybody to engage in violent protest and agitation because of the judgment.
Lyon, in a statement signed for him by Alphine Ogoh, appealed to all stakeholders to remain calm and allow the party’s legal team to explore all legal remedies available in law to restore the people’s mandate

if APC screened her candidates well they would not have these issues.



They never learn

He spoke responsibly

What a timely press release.

Oga, you supported the violence jare.

Same way Buhari's silence caused more killings in 2011 election..

Your silence was a subtle tactical support.

Better statement that the dwarf from Edo.

You are gone for good. Blame your party Apc and also your deputy governorship candidate. You just have to wait for another 4 years again. Besides bayelsa state is pdp state.

Maturity there

It is now or never. If the incumbent works hard, PDP will win again in next 4yrs. Besides, Lyon is not mature to be a governor. He is rarely articulate when he speaks English.. His 2020 victory was just circumstantial.
