The Governor-elect, David Lyon, has spoken of his what he plans to do with the finances of the state once he gets into office.
Speaking after receiving his Certificate of Return from the National Commissioner in charge of Bayelsa, Edo and Rivers states, Mrs. May Agbamuche, Lyon said that the funds of the state does not belong to him or his deputy and as such would use the money for the development of the state.
Speaking further, he extended a hand of fellowship to the Peoples Democratic Party and other candidates who he defeated in the November 16 gubernatorial election which he won.
His words: “The Bayelsa money is not my money. The Bayelsa money doesn’t belong to my deputy. It is the people’s money and we will use it judiciously to develop Bayelsa State. I, David Lyon, is signing a contract with the people of Bayelsa to bring peace to our state so that development will come to Bayelsa.”
On inclusion, Lyon called on the PDP candidate, Senator Douye Diri, and others to work with him for the development of Bayelsa.
He said, “I extend my greetings to the good people of Bayelsa, who went out with pains to decide the next government with their votes. They exercised their rights in the most peaceful election so far recorded in the history of Bayelsa.
“I assure you that David Lyon, his team and the APC will not disappoint Bayelsans. In an election, we always have many contestants especially in the one that we have just concluded in Bayelsa. Today by the will of God, I have emerged the winner. But that doesn’t mean that others, who contested with me are losers.
“They are also winners like me. There is no looser. This is the time for us to come together to develop Bayelsa. We have lost a lot. We have missed a lot. Let us come together to develop this our great state. I commend the Independent National Electoral Commission for doing a great job.
