Bayelsa: How Nigerians Reacted to Supreme Court’s Judgement that Sacked Lyon

Honestly I feel for the Governor-elect of Bayelsa State! If he was the one with fake certificate, I would have dragged him but to pay for the crime of his deputy is so sad.
The law must be obeyed but this is not fair! It should be that the deputy Gov elect that should be sacked!

Deputy Governor elect of your party presented a forged certificate in Bayelsa but is Mary Odili you're all blaming. You people need to check your brain. Did Mary Odili ask him to used a forged certificate?

You guys don't know how insane this is? Partisan bias aside I feel bad for Lyon. Do you know the preparation that goes into the swear in? All the hundreds of millions. Aso Ebi? Families that traveled from world over? Hotel bills? Prepped after parties?

The Nigeria Police must move quickly – arrest, investigate and prosecute the FORMER INCOMING Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State cum alleged certificate forger for forgery.

Supreme Court just changed the poor man’s Valentines Day to Frankenstein’s Day! A man that planned to give his wife the time of her life tomorrow, will now grieve his wife the cry of her life. What will they call him now? Pre Governor?

Did the APC not screen its candidates?

What the heck then was that screening committee meant for?

How did a dodgy Deputy find his way on the ticket?

Where was the mechanism for checking such irregularities, within the party, and on submission at INEC?

🤦🏾‍♂️
