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
