Widow of the First Executive Governor of
Bayelsa State, Diepreye Alameisegha,
Magareth Alameiseigha, yesterday alleged
that the treatment meted on her husband by
his political party, PDP led to his sudden
death in October last year. Speaking at his 1
year memorial service in Yenogoa, Bayelsa
state, Mrs Alameiseigha said the killing of her
husband started with his removal from office,
arrest, trial and confiscation of his properties
under the leadership of the PDP. Leadership
quotes her as saying her husband's death was
not in anyway caused by APC.
“I can categorically say today that it was the
PDP that arrested my husband, seized all his
properties and humiliated him to the point of
his death. It is PDP that killed my husband
and not the APC.
It was PDP that arrested my husband, it was
PDP that humiliated my husband and killed
him. At the end they seized everything that
belonged to him. It was the PDP that
tormented my husband and he died as a result
of the humiliation he suffered in the hands of
the PDP. As far as am concerned, the
humiliated me and took everything away from
us.”
Speaking further,
Mrs. Alamieyeseigha said
her husband's people sold him out to the PDP
who "finally killed him".
“When my husband took over the mantle of
leadership, he saw how his people were
suffering.
As an intelligent man, he saw the
need to fight for resource control as the way
out for his people.
But at the end it is the
same people that he fourth for that betrayed
him. They sold him out to the PDP that
eventually killed him. I want to advise the Ijaw
people to stop betraying their leaders, so that
they can move forward.”she said
