The video of Bayelsa state governor-elect, David Lyon, committing errors in English grammar has emerged on the social media.
It was observed in the video that Lyon didn’t comply with the rules of grammar while addressing some newsmen shortly after his victory in the Saturday’s election.
Lyon was at the state house earlier this week to meet with President Buhari and shortly after the meeting, he addressed state house correspondents and his spoken English left many a little surprised.

“It’s indeed a welcome development because in our own campaigns, we give to them, when being elected and swear in, we give to them security and development; it is our key agendas,”
