APC Should Compensate David Lyon With Bayelsa Governorship Ticket – Group

A group within the All Progressives Congress, the APC-G37 has called on the national leadership of the party to consider offering a former Bayelsa State governor-elect, David Lyon the governorship ticket for the state.

The group recently revealed this via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the APC can compensate Lyon for the trauma he went through in 2019 after he won the Bayelsa State governorship election only for the Supreme Court to nullified his election on the eve of his swearing-in.

APC-G37 added that it is only fair for Lyon to be considered again ahead of the November 11, 2023 governorship election in Bayelsa State.

His words, “We resolved that in all the states where governorship elections are due, we call for equity and justice for a level playing field for all aspirants.”

“However, in Bayelsa State, the former governor-elect, David Lyon, should be allowed as APC sole candidate for governorship election, just like his ex-deputy, who made us lose the governorship seat, was allowed to be the APC sole senatorial candidate for the just concluded 2023 general elections.”

“This should serve as a compensation for the traumatic event associated with the agonising loss Lyon suffered as a result of the Supreme Court judgement nullifying his hard-earned victory.”
