[dropcap]W[/dropcap]e cannot celebrate mediocrity. The Bayelsa election is an indictment of the Federal Government.
It is a clear indication that this APC-led Federal Government is incapable of delivering hitch-free elections, especially in 1 LGA of the least populated State in Nigeria, devoid of intrigues and underhand moves to undermine the will of the people.
The victory is won at great cost to the people of Bayelsa. It is a shame; an embarrassing national shame. The voices of the resilient people of Bayelsa State have prevailed over attempts by political buccaneers to emasculate and subjugate their will and mandate.
May God bless the good people of Bayelsa State for standing their grounds and grant them the fortitude to bear the irreparable, unnecessary and avoidable losses.
These are innocent victims

They said the election in Southern Ijaw was peaceful but I am standing at the waterside by the dead body of one of our party’s Agent “Aaron Douye”. He was killed by APC thugs and militants. APC is evil. President Buhari supports the killings of Nigerians. They are destroying all our electoral gains in just 8months. ???? Tears
