(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The APC gubernatorial aspirant in the last Election in Balyelsa, David Lyon, has taken center stage on Twitter as a Tribunal in Abuja annulled the election of Governor Diri of Bayelsa State.
African Examiner had initially reported that the tribunal had nullified the election of the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP), Senator Duoye Diri as Governor.
This development has since elicited lots of reactions from many in the micro blogging platform who expressed delight in the sack of the governor by the Supreme Court, hoping that David Lyon will be put in if Diri is eventually ousted.
Here are some of the tweets.
