Chief DSP Alamieyeseigha, the former governor of Bayelsa State has taken over headship of the campaign team of President Goodluck Jonathan for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential ticket in the 2011 polls. The decision was based on the opposition from some northern leaders to the issue of the President Jonathan’s candidature for the 2011 polls and most importantly on the uncoordinated approach of the various groups purporting to be campaigning for the interest of the president.

To give bite to his resolve to ensure that his godson emerges victorious at the PDP primaries, Alamieyeseigha held a meeting at the weekend with selected PDP leaders from various states of the federation under the auspices of the Goodluck Grassroot Movement.

Chief DSP Alamieyeseigha at the meeting stated that Dr. Jonathan’s presidency in 2011 would go a long way to assuage the feeling of marginization against the people of the Niger Delta and that his presidency would showcase the diversity of Nigeria and help to restore confidence to other minority groups who felt they were marginalized.

Meanwhile, Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim, who is the chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT), Goodluck Grassroot Movement is set to donate over 800 vehicles to the movement for the propagation of the candidacy of President Goodluck Jonathan. According to Ibrahim, the movement was created to ensure that President Jonathan wins the presidential primaries of the PDP whenever it holds.

According to a statement issued by Otunba Wasiu Banjo, the director general of Goodluck Grassroot Movement, it was resolved at the meeting that genuine leaders of the PDP should be mobilized towards ensuring that President Jonathan emerges as the candidate of the PDP at the forthcoming presidential primaries despite the resolve of some northern leaders to uphold the zoning principle which makes the ticket the exclusive preserve of PDP members from the northern part of the country.
Among the notable leaders, who attended the meeting hosted by Jimoh Ibrahim were Senator Rasheed Ladoja, Chris Ukpabi, Silvanus Ngele, Chief Chris Ekpeyong, Sergeant Awuse, Emmanuel Mangni and Kenneth Gbagi.

Others were Victor Nwokolo, Mr. Emmanuel Ibeshi, Frank Ugwu, Vital Opara, Otunba Rueben Famuyibo, Otunba Segun Adekoya and Alhaji Isa Tafida.
Also in attendance were Mr. Y.Y. Sanni, Alhaji Abdul Rahman Abubakar and Mr. Dolapo Balogun.

lol no shame.

Chief DSP Alamieyeseigha, the former governor of Bayelsa State has taken over headship of the campaign team of President Goodluck Jonathan for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential ticket in the 2011 polls.

We can now see the type of Government GEJ want to Institute for us, when thieves and bail jumpers are the stake holders of his campaign. Well i hope he knows what he is doing.

And this is where the man loses my vote. He is simply a puppet.

I learnt Jonathan is championing his campaign by himself after learning that Sambo may not really be a winning material,so don't discredit this report yet.

No thats IBB's 10 million Naira bribe speaking through the Sun newspaper. It has always been useless anyway.

@ topic: I vehemently protest this great injustice meted out to innocent _thiefJames onanefe Ibori.

It says a lot about the person and character of Jonathan that Alamieyeseigha, who still wears the ignoble necklace of a convict on his neck, is the one leading his presidential campaign.  Or has he been granted pardon?

But wait a minute, has Jonathan even declared his interest in the race lest we end up with another unwilling candidate.  The time it has taken him to make up his mind is yet another thing that speaks about the speed and substance of his decision making process.

Whatever. . .the issue here is that jonathan should not bring questionable people into his fold and the fact that Alams is his former boss may bring some credibility ot this story.if not,why did he called for a meeting of the campaign stakeholders ?

How do you know there was any meeting?
Abeg wait for Ima Niboro to give us the koko jare! Thats how the last time someone phoned Rueters claiming to be a presidency source. . . You know the drill, the real presidency source (Niboro) made it known that it was done by "interested parties."

So Alamieyeseigha goes scot free but Ibori fights to get away from the clutches of GEJ and the UK.

This is far more than double standard . . . .

How Can this be true? All these journalists and there sensational reports. I know NLers will not even question this report, as usual it will be an avenue to attack GEJ.

And while we are waiting for Niboro to come and dispel this information,did you guys know that the information is all over the net ? If the information is false,there should have been a counter-claim since

The fact that Alams is part of GEJ's campaign machine is no longer news. . . I thought everyone knew this already. . .

The only source is the sun newspaper. GEJ and Niboro need to plan a counter strike at IBB, he has placed so much false info in the press already.
Maybe the malu just needs to be locked up.

I hope is not true, else. . .

Guys,

Open you eyes! Shine dem well well ooOO! How come this piece of information is only carried in the Sunnewspaper? I have a feeling that IBB has a lot to do with the Sunnewpaper because most of the write-ups are either pro-IBB or anti-Jonathan. I believe IBB uses the Sunnewpaper as one of its press tools.

I will not buy in to this gimmick of his.

All ex-convicts in nigeria only come out of prison stronger and more relevant !!!!

It is completely impossible to ask a chicken to give birth to a lion.
Goodluck Jonathan will be pushed around for the rest of his term as our president.

Nigeria needs a leader that has stamina and bold enough to making tough decisions 24/7.
Jonathan can not and will not produce.

Electing Jonathan simply means a longer time in the darkness; absolutely nothing new will be witnessed.

governor campaigning for deputy governor. the first shall become the last and the last shall become the first. Alamieyeseigha, trying to bring out his head once more. that's Nigeria politics, even when out of jail after committing crimes and serving their jail terms, they still have to device a means of fitting-in into the politics. just being shameless, all for money.

Alarm don blow for GEJ's presidential ambition.

[size=25pt]OPERATION TOTALITY !!!1[/size]



by any means necessary

we shall soon see the lionization of alams

Falsehood reign supreme in Journalism in Nigeria. Jonathan has not yet declared and rubbish newspapers are publishing thrash for people to read.

I have always said it, and i still repeat that GEJ is not man enough to hold a leadersip position. He is simply a puppet in the hand of one old otta farmer.

We need MEN not BOYS as President, We need real president and not a ceremonial president.
We need a leader who has experience.
We need then man Alhaji Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida aka IBB

And you think settling for a tested evil ibb is what we need abi ? Ibb spent 8 years,what did he achieve ? I will rather tear my voter's card than vote for ibb.

Are u sure there was a meeting at all with Alarm's and the people mentioned but come to think of it, who those people involve in the meeting, out Jimoh, other are not house hold names.
