It's time to reflect on how the APC screening organ, failed David Lyon and the people of Bayelsa."

She called on the leadership of the party to ensure that all members of the screening committee are sanctioned to serve as deterrents for others. "Heads should roll. Let there be sanctions in APC against those who failed to protect David Lyon and the people of Bayelsa," she added. Onochie, however, educated those arguing on the legality or illegality of the judgement by the Supreme Court on Bayelsa governorship tussle to read her post. She said: "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." The presidential aide said that progressives making references to purchased Supreme Court judgements under PDP should be totally ashamed of themselves for wanting the party to go that path.

She stressed: "Justice is not about how many states a political party has, it's about what the law says.

"That's how our dead institutions will arise from the ashes of decay. Yes, we are not pleased with the Bayelsa judgement, but it's a new day and a new way. Our laws are working, our laws are winning. These should be comforting and should gladden us. The Bible calls it, "Beauty From Ashes."
