There are strong indications that a former
Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Diepreye
Alamieyeseigha, is seeking to govern Bayelsa
State again.
It was learnt on Monday that this time around,
Alamieyeseigha, who in his first tenure, was
called ‘Governor General of Niger Delta,’
wishes to actualise his ambition on the
platform of the All Progressives Congress.
It was also learnt that a former Managing
Director, Niger Delta Development
Commission, Chief Timi Alaibe, is interested in
the governorship ticket of the APC for the
2016 governorship election in the state as
well.
Others said to be eyeing the party’s tickets are
a leader of the APC and a former Governor of
the state, Chief Timipre Sylva; a former
Commissioner for Health, Chief Frank
Akpoebi; a Permanent Secretary, Ministry of
Power, Godknow Igali, and APC state
Chairman, Mr. Tiwe Oruminighe.
It was further learned that Mr. Preye Aganaba,
who recently lost his senatorial ambition, was
being propelled by the Rivers State Governor,
Rotimi Amaechi, to go for the party’s
governorship ticket.
A source, who spoke on condition of
anonymity, said Alamieyeseigha, the first
elected civilian governor of the state, was
seriously staging a comeback to the Creek
Haven, Bayelsa Government House, on APC
platform.
The source claimed the former governor and
Igali were plotting to wrest power from the
incumbent Governor, Mr. Seriake Dickson.
Alamieyeseigha became the first civilian
governor of the state in 1999 and was re-
elected for a second term in 2003.
He was later convicted of corruption and
money laundering, leading to his
impeachment by the state House of Assembly.
The former governor was subsequently
prosecuted and convicted.
But he was pardoned by President Goodluck
Jonathan, who described him as his political
benefactor.
The source said, “Alamieyeseigha is eyeing the
governorship seat. His plan is to make a grand
return to the seat of power in 2016. To this
end, he has been holding a series of meetings
with some APC stalwarts.
“He is assuring the APC leadership that with
him as governor, the militants will feel
comfortable. He is saying that the incumbent
governor is not liked by ex-militants, citing the
clash between the governor and ex-militants
over pipeline contracts,” he said.

Ok

An adult male lion will not tolerate the presence of hyena {thief} that will steal it"s meal, the lion especially the ones known as hyena killers will kill one or two hyenas in the pack to serve as an example to others and the rest vanish.
Buhari is the hyena killer and Alams [hyena] knows it so will stay away and also APC will not make that mistake, so do not worry.

Him dey kolo? He want to come and quench the fire we started with his wrapper from London? It is time for APC to put a 1yr propation to anyone that want to join the party.

Alamieyeseigha want to join a moving train by fire by force. Though there is nothing that will please me like APC winning Bayelsa in 2016.

Good move. Nigeria is too important to be left solely in the hands of the Borgias!

A renowned thief?? Smh

APC can give the ticket to whoever they like but not alamasigha

dayosaurus:


How are you sure? You never can tell

It would against everything they have fought for.

This man is an icon of kqwuarapshan but if the militants will vote for him and he is willing to serve well, I think they should give him a chance

That can only happen if GMB is not our president. If GMB is our president. Forget it.

That is why yorrobbers can die for Tifnubu. Nigerians love their own.

If he runs he will win. People from that region like their thieves and thugs.

Nigeria nigeria. Why has that man not been locked up for embezzlement?
What the hell is wrong with people

This dude is fucking popular and APC can use this guy to win Bayelsa if they really want to play dirty... But it will make a mockery of the change they scream

Punch! This is propaganda at the highest level. You these people will be celebrated for while with these your unmentioned lies fly in highest skies after which you will lose your relevance. For record, ALAM has he been popularly called cannot be a governor of any state again in Nigeria because he has been elected twice and he has taken oath of office of governor twice. His impeachment has no effect at all because in the eyes of the law, he served as a governor twice. Not everybody that is on this platform is a fool.
