appointment as acting Chairman South-South APC.

politically exposed person from the region.
Excerpt is the full text of the press release:
WHEN THE LION IS CALLED UPON TO ROAR AGAIN: A WORD
OF CONGRATULATIONS TO HE DAVID LYON ON HIS APPOINTMENT AS ACTING CHAIRMAN
SOUTH-SOUTH APC - AMB IGALI
The recent appointment of HE Hon David Lyon, the
popular winner of the recent Bayelsa State Governorship election, which was
reversed in favour of the incumbent, HE Sen. Douye Diri by the Nigerian
Supreme Court, by the All Progressives Congress Party (APC ) to head its
affairs in the South South zone of the country has come with resounding celebrations.
We appreciate President Muhammed Buhari and the National Executive Committee of
the APC for this elevation of our brother, kinsman and great national patriot.
By this appointment, HE Lyon has been elevated to steer the affairs of the
party in the six states of Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo and
Rivers.
As the mandate is to ensure that the APC which is
the ruling party in the country repositions itself, this high honour on HE Lyon
places him at the vortex of governance, peace and security and development in
the Niger Delta Region Indeed, it makes him the most politically
exposed person from the region. Expectedly, he will put the plough to
working immediately in ensuring internal peace and democracy within the APC in
the areas under his purview and resolve all petty and troubling internecine
disputes.
However, more than sleeping and waking up with APC,
he will also have the onerous task of ensuring inter-party harmony with
other political parties, especially the People Democratic Party (PDP) which
controls some of the states in the region. He will also be expected to work to
ensure that peace and security thrives in the area. Furthermore, the
people of the area look unto him to work hard to ensure that party faithfuls
are carried along in all affairs at the national level and that the
region will be well favoured at the national level in terms of allocation
of federal projects .
Fortunately, HE Lyon is loved with unimaginable
respect and admiration not only in Bayelsa but in the entire region. His
humility and the charitable character are magnetic attributes which pull crowds
to him. Since the announcement of this appointment, jubilation and
celebrations have erupted effusively around the major cities of the
region; indeed across party line.
A man of few words, but deeply endowed with
natural intelligence and tact, he will be able to ensure the successful
accomplishment of his mandate. For a political leader better known for his team
work ideals, he is expected to attract the best of hands, even outside
party lines to get the job done. The lion will certainly roar again and
will bring peace once again to the troubled party.
On behalf of my family and our PROJECT BAYELSA NGO
team, we congratulate you and look forward to lending our support when
necessary. May God in heaven continue to imbue you with wisdom and give you the
strength and presence of mind to bring His Sovereign will to pass.
Ambassador Godknows Boladei Igali, Phd, OON,
Ibetariowei of Izon
