Bayelsa Poll : Cogent reasons why Bayelsans will elect David Lyon
By Titus Innocent
Politics is not a game of sentiment but of numbers. Love and acceptability by the electorate who have the absolute power in electing their leaders is critical. There must be proof that the candidate has the capacity to drive good governance which is built on equity, fairness and justice to all in respective of tribe and religion. This is a critical component of good governance in any civilized society. That is how leaders are assessed for their worthiness to occupy the position of leadership.

This is one of the factors that have worked for David Lyon greatly in Bayelsa State, especially in the forthcoming November 16, governorship election. David Lyon has displayed a great sense of love and unity to the people of Kogi State for more than a decade.
David Lyon only believes in what any indigene of the state can offer for the development and the unity of the state irrespective of family background. This will go a long way in uniting the people of Bayelsa State who have been so divided politically before the emergence of Lyon as the standard bearer of APC.
The statement recently credited to PDP , few days to the governorship election, accusing David Lyon and his party of recruiting thugs for November 16 governorship election , is quite unfortunate and senseless coming from a party that has ruled the state for many years with nothing to show for it. Sometimes, out of desperation to hijack power by all means, people make all sorts of comments without considering the past.
The PDP governor, Seriake Dickson who has enjoyed huge federal allocation and also has borrowed a lot of money under the guise of developing Bayelsa State, but nothing to show for it. Staff salaries and pension arrears have been a major problem due to mismanagement of state resources by the PDP led government in the state.
David Lyon has love and respect for traditional institution and traditional rulers. David Lyon has worked tirelessly to empower the grassroots who are the major beneficiaries of his surveillance job. David Lyon through this security contract has record great successes in this regard in Bayelsa State.There is an adage that to whom much is given, much is expected and that is what November 16 governorship election is all about.
David Lyon's endorsement by so many political group and Bayelsans is the best way to go in accepting the will of God, that power comes from God and He gives power to whomever He wishes.
