INEC on Sunday declared David Lyon of the APC the governor-elect of Bayelsa.
On Monday, the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Bayelsa State, David Lyon, was declared the winner of the Bayelsa State 2019 governorship election held two days earlier.
Sagbama is the local government area of the state governor, Seriake Dickson, also a staunch supporter of the PDP candidate in the election.Between 1999 and 2005, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha of the PDP served as governor of the state. He was succeeded by his deputy, Goodluck Jonathan, who governed until 2007 when he was elected alongside the late President Umaru Yar’adua as vice president.
Meanwhile, after students’ unrest ended at NDU and other resolutions were reached ahead of the opening of the university, more troubles emerged.A number of other crises were ignited following the controversy thrown up by the government’s policy on the NDU. In Amassoma community, where the NDU is located, many of the indigenes had been employed by the institution as part of the benefits to the host community.
The sentiment would snowball into the larger Southern Ijaw outrage against the Dickson government and, by implication, the PDP.Southern Ijaw is a Local Government Area with its headquarters in the town of Oporoma. It is located in the north of the area. The area has a coastline of approximately 60 km on the Bight of Benin. Amassoma, the crisis-ridden host of the NDU, is a part of the local government. It is arguably the second-largest voting bloc in the state.
As part of the reform, the government also announced that it has reduced its public service workforce from 55,00 to 27,000 and suspended the salaries of a large number of affected staff during the exercise. A chieftain of the party, Tokpo Coronation, also predicted at the time that more resignations were underway.
