James Onanefe Ibori, former governor of Delta state, says Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, ex-governor of Bayelsa state, who died on Saturday, built just one house and was never corrupt.

Many allegations of corruption were levelled against the deceased.
In September 2005, the UK’s metropolitan police detained Alamieyeseigha after finding about £1 million cash on him, and another £1.8 million in cash and accounts. He was subsequently charged with money laundering but he jumped bail and returned to the country.

However Ibori, who is serving jail sentence in the United Kingdom, after being convicted for corruption and money laundering, said his former colleague was a “victim of virulent politics”. “Alamieyeseigha became the victim of great hypocrisy masquerading as nationalism and anti-corruption fight,” Ibori said in a statement signed on his behalf by Tony Eluemunor, his spokesman.

“Alamieyeseigha was lied against, as heaps upon heaps of untruths were piled on him, and national hysteria replaced public discourse whenever the subject was Alamieyeseigha.

“He was plotted against by those who swore they were fighting on the side of good even though they had taken high seats in the devil’s court.

“How many people would believe that Alamieyeseigha had only one house? And that is in his village, Amassoma! One day, no matter how long the delay, Alamieyeseigha’s real story would be told, the truth about him would be unearthed and the world would know the kind of virulent politics he was victim of.”

Ibori showered encomiums on Alamieyeseigha, recalling his agitation for resource control and fiscal federalism. “We were not just colleagues in the governors forum from 1999, in the man I found a boundless and dependable warrior in the battle for the cause of the Niger Delta. He was fearless, forthright, outspoken and dedicated his life to the causes he believed would benefit his people,” Ibori said.

“In fact, he was consumed by the cause of the Ijaw people, the degradation of their environment and collective psyche. He was in a hurry to see that the injustice under which they laboured be redressed; and he was ready to bear any pain, pay any price, to see that their day of liberation arrived fast.” “Rest in peace great Ijaw leader. Rest in peace, the Governor General of the Ijaw nation. May God grant your family and the Ijaw people the grace to bear this monumental loss.”

Alamieyesiegha died from cardiac arrest induced by high blood pressure and diabetes on Saturday after falling into a coma and was rushed to the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, where he was reportedly placed on a life support machine.

lalasticlala! Oya!

As if we had not been well punished today by Fayose's foolish diatribe and psycho analysis of the death, now this armed robber has robbed salt to our injuries!

PDP Was A Cruel Punishment To Nigerians! Smh!

They said we should not talk evil about Alamieyeseigha, but the same people and their hypocritical pastors still talk evil of Judas Iscariot, Nebuchadnezzer, Saul etc, many centuries after they had gone!

What do we call it?

Alams! May the blood of the innocent bayelsa people who died out of your devilish looting of their common patrimony, never allow you rest in peace, Amen!

This goat is lucky he was accidentally born Chinese, he would not be alive to be defending his fellow member of the association of criminals

OK... It's none of my business... He dined and merry with APC party warriors....

Atleast.... APC as we know... Will diminish ur status if you go against dia wills and party pledge!

Alamz.... RIP!

If he's not corrupt then I'm also pregnant!

'They' must have placed the £1m in his briefcase to set him up.....Ibori playing the victim's card. Oshisko

And u get sense so

If all those who stole are not corrupt or have not taken any money, Then who in history has stolen all the missing wealth or has Nigeria not lost monies at all?

Nigeria with dirty politics....OBJ watch ur back

Honor Among thieves

Dont forget gej theory which says" Stealing is not Curruption"

Who is this one... Just pray you aren't released before buhari leaves d seat. Alams=dead, dizeani=cancer, kashamu= You no dey reason abi

A thief praising another. I can't believe someone has a job as spokesperson to a convicted criminal.

The 1m Pounds Alams was caught with was just chicken change and a fraction of his monthly salary.

shamack:




And u get sense so

Yet i'm better than ur entire generation coupled together... Including ur imbecilic self...

Now... Run along... Young bastard!

We know say na thief fit hail thief like this.

I thought James Ibori is serving his jail term abroad?who made such statement claiming Alams was not a corrupt fellow?I must report this situation to the President myself,something is fishy.

ibori just sent out a cryptic message only few can understand

Why is it that when somebody give up the ghost. Those that are alive will began to heap praises on irrespective of legacy he/she left.

Can somebody give me answer

The same cruel politics was played to oust GEJ from office.
Same is being played against Diezeani. While Obj, Ibb, tinubu, Abdusalam, farouk lawal, Atiku etc are walking freely without blames.

Oh! Ijaw nation! Arise and defend your leaders.

RIP Alams!

God punish Obasanjo and his entire generation for setting you up whilst he's robbing the Niger Delta region of her resources.

RIP Alams!

Amen!!!

Buhari said the same thing. Birds of a feather.

Ibori and others be looking at Diezani like....

I guess the millions of pounds sterling found in his possession when he was arrested by UNITED KINGDOM police was planted abi? The man had ONLY one house but several mansions were in the names of his very YOUNG children abiDo these people REALLY think that we are gullible and stupidA convicted thief pouring encomium on another convicted thief. Soon Diezani will be pouring encomium on Stella Odua from UK prison. The cycle continues!!
