Lauretta Onochie
A presidential aide has accused her own party of causing the problem that cost it Bayelsa governorship seat.
President Muhammadu Buhari's special assistant on social media,
Lauretta Onochie, on Friday, February 14, revealed secrets behind the
Supreme Court’s judgement that sacked the former governor-elect of the
Bayelsa state, David Lyon.
Onochie in a statement posted on her Facebook page said the
screening organ of the ruling All Progressives Congressive (APC) should
be blamed for the loss the party suffered in Bayelsa state.
She made that known in the statement titled, 'Beauty from ashes',
that it is not the time to flex muscle, adding that the party leadership
should reflect on how its screening organ failed Lyon and the people of
the state.
The statement read: “This is not the Time to flex muscles. It’s
time to reflect on how the APC screening organ, failed David Lyon and
the people of Bayelsa.”
“It was heart-wrenching to see the photos of David Lyon
rehearsing for a day that will not be. How is he, his family and his
supporters ever going to get over this? APC Failed him.
“It’s indefensible. No excuse Can cover this one. We can’t be sentimental like PDP. We can’t stand on PDP antecedents.
“We can’t be unfair like PDP. We can’t be irresponsible like
PDP. We can’t make excuses like PDP. We can’t be Tacky like PDP. We
can’t be Lawless like PDP.
“For those who are still arguing blindly or postulating, read
on: Law versus sentiments: Pocket lawyers like me: Total vote cast:
EKEREMO: 41429 APC- 21489 or 51.9%, PDP- 18344 or 44.3% “What the
Supreme Court ruled: EKEREMO: Total vote cast: 19934, PDP- 18344 or 92%,
APC- 0%.
“Work it out for the other seven local government areas.
Justice is not about how many states a political party has, it’s about
what the law says.
“We must begin, as agents of change, to imbibe the culture of
legality, consulting our laws in all we do and have absolute respect for
our judiciary, especially the Supreme Court.
