APC Applauds Jonathan Over Bayelsa Poll
The Leadership of the All Progressive Congress APC has applauded the former President Goodluck Jonathan over the just concluded Bayelsa gubernatorial poll.
The party commended Jonathan for his disposition towards the result of the election.
It could be recalled that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC declared the APC gubernatorial candidate David Lyon, winner of the Saturday poll. Lyon defeated the Peoples Democratic Party candidate Senator Diri Douye, to rescue the state from the leadership of PDP for over 8 years.
The Chairman of the APC Governors Forum and Governor of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu, also noted that the ex-president was happy with the outcome of the election.
Bagudu disclosed this shortly after he presented the governor-elect to President Muhammadu Buhari at the Aso Villa in Abuja on Monday.

He said “We were in Bayelsa for over 72 hours, we didn’t see a tire burning, we didn’t see people running, we didn’t hear any gunshot and everyone was celebrating in all the areas we passed since yesterday (Sunday) which shows acceptance of the candidate of our party of the process itself.
“It is equally noteworthy that Bayelsa is a state which is home to a former President of Nigeria and this election won by a party different from which he belongs to has been accepted by all including people around him. So far, from what we hear and what we see, he is also happy with the outcome irrespective of the difference in the party which is an indication of the transparency of the process.“
