A socio-cultural
organisation, Izon Brotherhood in the Diaspora has accused the APC of being responsible for the death of first
civilian governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Dieprieye Alamieyesiegha, who
passed away in Port-Harcourt yesterday.
The
Spokesman of the group, Arc. Pere Jones, in a statement sent to the media from Germany, said the recent extradition
notice by the United Kingdom aggravated the health of the former
governor and his subsequent death.

Alamieyesiegha's
health was said to have deteriorated and rushed to a private hospital
in Port-Harcourt where he slipped into comma as doctors were said to
have battled to save his life until he passed on.
He berated the APC who he claimed was behind the recent
extradition notice that must have aggravated the health of the former Ijaw
leader who reportedly died of heart attack.
Jones
condemned the alleged role of the APC which reportedly influenced the
inclusion of Alamieyesiegha's name among those wanted by the UK
government even after going through the whole legal hurdles of
prosecution, conviction and later pardoned.
Jones
was particularly critical of the role allegedly played by some Ijaw
sons whom he accused of working hand-in-hand with the APC to undermine
the Ijaw nation.
He
said, "Clearly, it's a shame to all our Ijaw brothers who are in league
with the APC, witchhunting and working against their fellow Ijaw
brothers ans sisters, being singled out for alleged corruption charges.
They should be ashamed of themselves. Frankly no Ijaw man worth his salt
should have anything to do with APC. With what they have done to our
dear leader, Alamieyesiegha, no right thinking son or daughter of Ijaw
extraction should be seen associating with the APC. His death is really
unfortunate."
Sometimes , I wonder how some people can ignorantly announce their unsound thought processes, This Jones guy should quit sentiments and on the contrary advise his Kinsmen to Shun corruption ad stealing... Would his name have been involved if he had no case to answer? And when we talk about pardoning him, who did? was it Nigerians... This man instead of using his position to upgrade the quality of Hospitals, schools, etc and save lives in the future, he stole the funds that could change and save lives not knowing someday he might need such service as well... Jones position on this matter is like that of a fellow thief that shamelessly displays his loot as his reward of Hardwork.
