Lyon, who was in his home town Olugbobiri, ward 4, Olodiama 2, for the National Assembly bye election which took place on Saturday December 5 in two of three senatorial districts in Bayelsa state, expressed optimism in the outcome of the election and commended the people for the peaceful conduct.
Chief David Lyon expressed satisfaction with improved manner INEC distributed sensitive and non sensitive materials across the difficult creeks of his constituency.
He called for unity among the people of the State, pointing out that election provided the opportunities for people to freely choose their own candidate and equally afford the candidate the opportunities to canvas eligible votes in a free and fair manner.
