TRACKING> The Member, Representing Southern Ijaw Federal Constituency Federal House of Representatives Hon. Preye Influence Oseke has congratulated the Bayelsa state Governor elect, chief David Lyon over his victory at the court of appeal Port Harcourt. In a statement made available to TrackNews Online he said “I wish to congratulate the Bayelsa state governor-elect and candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the November 16th, 2019 governorship election, Chief David Lyon, on his victory at the Court of Appeal, Port Harcourt division.
The rulings delivered today, 11th January 2020, by the Court of Appeal, upheld the 4th September, 2019 direct primary election of the All Progressives Congress, APC, which produced Chief David Lyon as candidate of the party.
The rulings delivered separately at the same Court of Appeal, Port Harcourt, all turned out in favour of Chief David Lyon. These victories are indeed not only for the Bayelsa state governor-elect, and the All Progressives Congress, APC, but for all Bayelsans who overwhelmingly voted for him. It is an affirmation of the collective will of Bayelsans who resolved to make a departure from darkness to light, which Chief David Lyon signifies. It is indeed a victory for democracy.
I must not fail to applaud the judiciary for further entrenching our democracy through it’s rulings today. These rulings have elicited joy across the state, which is an indication that anything contrary would have no doubt thrown the State into a state of gloom.
I am confident that Bayelsans are in for better days under the incoming administration, as the governor-elect is a development driven personality who is desirous to bring development to the people of the state. I therefore also congratulate Bayelsans for these victory
