TEN years after, the anger arising from the impeachment and subsequent imprisonment of former Bayelsa State Governor, Diepreye Solomon Peter Alamie-yeseigha by former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration is still reverberating even though Alamieyeseigha claims he has forgiven Obasanjo.


Obasanjo and Alamieyeseigha
Alamieyeseigha, who spoke to Saturday Vanguard in his country home in Yenagoa, said that he had forgiven all those who plotted and sent him to jail purely for political reasons even though the experience remains very painful to him.

The former governor was impeached and removed from office in December 2005 and was subsequently sent to jail for alleged mismanagement of Bayelsa State funds.

Some of his property alleged to have been secured with stolen funds in and outside Nigeria were confiscated and given to Bayelsa State by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) working in conjunction with foreign security agencies.

But Alamieyeseigha, who was granted state pardon by his former deputy governor and immediate past President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, last year, said that Obasanjo has not known peace because of the role he played in events leading to his impeachment, arrest and subsequent imprisonment.

He recalled that Obasanjo nearly fainted the first time he met him after his release from prison. He said the former president, who met him accidentally at the Katsina Airport became jittery on seeing him and managed to shake hands with him. Alamieyeseigha said: “I have forgiven all those who plotted against me, including former President Obasanjo. I know all those who plotted against me and sent me to jail. I cannot be living in the past as it does not help me in any way.

“What I passed through is painful all right but it would not have happened if it was not permitted by God. It is even more important to me that I am still alive today because I passed through many shadows of the valleys of death and still came out of them. ‘’I have met Obasanjo at very close quarters twice since I came out of prison.

I did not know that he was at the VIP Lounge at the Katsina Airport to attend the marriage of the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua’s daughter. Obasanjo came face to face with me at the airport when I went to use one of the rest rooms. It happened that as I opened the door to ease myself, I saw Obasanjo sitting face to face with me and he almost passed out.

“But I held his hands. He was scared and he felt uneasy all through. Then he began to ask ‘DSP, DSP, DSP! What have I done to deserve shaking your hands?’ There were many people there, one of them was Kenny Martins, the then chairman of the Police Equipment Fund.

“I told Obasanjo ‘I was only shaking you for two reasons: one-because of the fear of the Almighty God, who created us and two, for the fact that I am the Ganuma Katsina and you are a visitor to my emirate and tradition demands that I should welcome visitors’. “That prompted Kenny to get up also and greet me, saying ‘great leader, great leader’ and he came and hugged me.’’

The former governor said his second post-prison encounter with Obasanjo took place aboard a Dubai-bound flight where the former president met him seated in the business class and addressed him as ‘Fayose’ out of fear . His words: “The second encounter with Obasanjo was when we met on a flight going to Dubai. When Obasanjo came, I was already seated in the Business Class and he had no choice but to greet me.

But because of possible fear of seeing me, Obasanjo called out ‘Fayose, Fayose, Fayose.’ I protested to him that I am not Fayose and I said: ‘Former President Olusegun Matthew Okikiola Aremu Obasanjo, you are a devil incarnate.’ “I warned him not to talk again or he would face my anger. And I tell you, throughout the flight he could not say anything to me.

The only thing Obasanjo managed to say was to ask me whether I was the only one who had ever been sent to the prison. ‘DSP, is it only you that entered prison? Don’t you remember that I was also imprisoned? You entered prison and I also did.’’ In spite of his criticism of the former president, Alamieyeseigha, still has some kind words for Obasanjo.

Describing Obasanjo as a leader, who keeps his word and works hard, the former governor said he has a dossier on Obasanjo and would reveal it in his forthcoming memoirs to enable Nigerians know what the man had been doing since 1966.

“But one thing I know about Obasanjo is that he is a leader. If Obasanjo gives you his word, it remains his bond. You can call him any time of the night, and he will pick his phone directly.

He is ready to sit with you on how to solve a problem but he would not allow you to talk. That is the type of character he is. I have a dossier on Obasanjo and I will expose him and Nigerians will read it in my memoir,” Alamieyeseigha said.

DSP you are a recalcitrant, unrepentant thief
.
You have stolen from my Izon brothers and sisters yet you have the effrontery to make statements about your incarceration.

A presidential pardon is not pardon from the people.

Yes, you were fortunate to have your protégé as president so your liberty has been regained but not so your dignity. You have none.

Woe unto you and any that supports your thieving antecedents.

Obasanjo is no better and certainly would meet is comeuppance but in this matter he served right.
FYI dsp is still recpected in bayelsa politics more than any other izon man
but he stole bayelsans blind sha

South will always be south! pulling each others down, while the north stand by the north. Even with abacha's loots, Buhari was still defending him. Now his anti-corruption witch hunt is on, all the probed northerners(from nyako to dansuki) have gone to court and they were all granted bails. Now both the dss, efcc, and other security agencies have been parading the south south and south east looking for any means to drag some political chieftains to prison..... Very funny how some southerners rain curses when a southerner is being falsely accused.

It's obvious the prisons buhari has been ranting about is for southerners only becos I don't really see any northerner going to jail.

Plz nobody should quote me o, I never see light since yesterday. No ba3.

I go quote you put jara. U made a salient point. The north is aware that south hates south n dats y they keep setting them against each other. Too bad.

This man again! He was cashiered out of the NAF for cheating in a promotion exam but grace served him another chance to make some meaning out of his life yet he went a stealing public funds and became a fugitive in the UK!
If indeed true he spoke those words indisputable it is then that prison has done nothing to reform him. He clearly is a recidivist waiting to encore the grossness himself and his ilk are known for! He is due to be put on a flight ✈ to the UK. His conscience is dead and his faculties given to believing the lie. Were the death sentence available back then when he was convicted he won't be around to be this raunchy!

I hope he is put on a flight ✈ to the UK soonest and put behind bars so he'll stop giving The Izon a bad image and corrupting young Izon minds. Bayelsa is indeed the glory of all lands not all thieves!!! Haa Izon!!!!

I want to hazard a guess, Alameiyeseigha imagined that Obasanjo was about to faint. Truth must be told, Alameiyeseigha had a one in a lifetime opportunity to change the fortune of Bayelsans and he flunked it and in the process created a new set of naive leaders who believe that might or raw power is leadership(militant mentality) have you seen Seriake Dickson talk, what of Timipre Sylva or Timi Alaibe and sundry others who aspire to lead the State, they don't inspire confidence. It is a pity that an 8 local Govt State, the smallest amongst 36 state and Fct would fare less than Taraba, Nassarawa, jigawa etc that have no better allocation. Tommorow Alameiyeseigha will tell us President Buhari ran amock when he shook his hand. Can't Bayelsa State have a Level Headed Personality as Governor rather than the OLOTU'S (STRONGMEN) who have seized the common patrimony of Bayelsans for themselves and their family.
Tomorrow don't be surprise when Alameiyeseigha will tell the British Prime Minister fainted when they met. Goodnight make i go sleep. Bayelsa on my mind.
