described as laughable and shameful the accusation by the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), that the APC was behind the death of the first
Civilian Governor of the State, Diepreye Peter Alamieyeseigha
The party in a statement signed and issued by the state publicity
secretary, Hon. Fortune Panebi, noted that despite the claims by the
Seriake Dickson Administration that he has spent billions in upgrading
and refurbishing medical facilities in the state not even one hospital
could attend to the late former Governor of the state.
The statement further stated that it is quite sad that a man like
Chief D.S.P Alamieyeseigha could be treated with disregard by those he
picked from obscure corners and brought to political limelight, adding
that rather than lend a helping hand to the sick man he was given
conditions to publicly endorse Dickson’s re-election bid before his
medical request will be attended to.
The party while commiserating with the family of the bereaved, noted
that if Dickson was the peoples Governor as he claimed he would have
responded before the health condition worsened, adding that Dickson
was good at dragging feet when it comes to rendering assistance to
Bayelsans except those for cheap political points.
The party said the incident has once again exposed the many lies and
deceit of Dickson over issues concerning the Ijaw Nation, noting that
if the Governor General of the Ijaw Nation was treated shabbily and
with disdain, anybody can fall victim of same incident from Dickson.
The party advised Bayelsans to Shun Dickson’s new strategy of saying
Alamieyeseigha demise is a personal loss to him, adding that Diete Koki
hospital was a world class hospital as at when Sylva was the governor
of the state few years ago but has now turned refuse dump site for the
restoration government.
