Bayelsa Election: Mind Your Business, APC Guber Candidate Tells Gov Dickson
The gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Bayelsa State, David Lyon, has advised Governor Seriake Dickson to mind his business and leave the APC alone.
Reacting to the governor’s claims that the APC lacked a validly-elected and qualified candidate for the November 16 governorship election in the state, Lyon wondered why he should dissipate energy on what does not concern him.
He therefore advised Dickson to focus on his own party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s post-primary election crisis.
Lyon spoke through a statement by his Media Adviser, Gift Ebiki, on Wednesday in Yenagoa.
“As a sitting governor, Dickson should concentrate more on governance rather than turning himself into a mischief-maker and a busybody.
“The statement credited to Dickson is unbecoming of a governor; it’s of the highest mischief and derogatory of a sitting governor.
“The APC indeed has a validly elected candidate and he is Chief David Lyon. Governor Dickson is not in a position to discuss APC matters; he should concern himself with the crisis tearing his party, the PDP.
“It is only INEC that can talk of parties’ candidates being validly nominated or not. Indeed, Chief David Lyon is the Candidate of the APC.
“This clearly shows that Governor Dickson hand is behind some failed APC aspirants’ desire to cause confussion in APC but they have failed woefully because bayelsains are more informed than they imagined,” he sad.
