BREAKING: Lyon retains seat as Governor-elect of Bayelsa

Lyon Lyon

The Supreme Court affirmed the election of All Progressives Congress candidate David Lyon as the Governor-elect of Bayelsa State, striking out an appeal by former Minister of State for Agriculture, Heineken Lokpobiri.

His victory was upheld by a five-man panel which ruled that Lokpobiri’s appeal against the outcome of the September 4, 2019 primary of the APC was filed out of the time allowed by law.

Lokpobiri prayed the apex court to declare him the candidate of the party and governor-elect.
