Nigeria’s former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan (L), and Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State (R), commiserates with Mrs. Margaret Alamieyeseigha during a condolence visit to the family, over the death of the former Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief DSP Alamieyeseigha
The widow of the late former governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, Margaret, has said the Peoples Democratic Party was responsible for the death of her husband.
She levelled the accusation during the one-year remembrance of the late former governor in their country home in Amassoma, Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of the state.
With this, Margaret has finally broken her silence over Alamieyeseigha’s sudden death last year.
She stated that it was the PDP that frustrated and sent her husband to his early grave and not the All Progressives Congress as widely believed.
Margaret said, “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 the PDP that killed my husband, and not the APC. It was the PDP that arrested my husband; it was the 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 I am concerned, they humiliated us and took everything away from us.”
She described her husband as a man who passionately fought for the emancipation of the Ijaw people, but regretted that the same people he fought for sold her him out to the PDP that “eventually killed him.”
Alamieyeseigha, popularly known as the Governor-General of the Niger Delta, died aged 62, at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Rivers State, reportedly due to complications arising from high blood pressure and diabetes, which affected his kidney.
