David Pereworimini Lyon, the winner of the All Progressive Congress (APC) governorship election who was sacked by the Supreme Court has advised Bayelsa supporters and party faithful to accept the verdict of the apex court and to move on.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday, February 26, 2020, reviewed the judgment it gave against the party on February 13 and decided to maintain its earlier stance. The lawyers who represented Lyon were also sanctioned with a fine of N10 million each.
He said: “l am aware of the extent to which this decision has further dashed the hopes of Bayelsans as it upturns the democratic mandate of the Bayelsa electorate. I hereby unequivocally state my decision to accept the Supreme Court verdict however distressing as it is, it is the decision of the Supreme Court, and we are all bound to accept the outcome as law abiding citizens of this great country.”
Lyon added: ” they have a right to think that this is a case of judgment without justice, I strongly appeal against all forms of violence or any conduct that threatens the peace and development of our State.”
He said God still loves Bayelsans and will still allow His Will to come to pass in their lives.
