Former Bayelsa State Governor and
ex-convict, DSP Alamieyeseigha has said that President Goodluck Jonathan
had no choice in the state pardon he recently granted to him, as it was
a deal that had been negotiated since the tenure of late President
Umaru Yar'Adua.
“Well,
it (state pardon) started during the late President Yar’Adua’s
reign,”
he said in Lagos yesterday. “It was a pardon that was negotiated.
People who don’t know what happened are the ones talking."
The
ex-convict held back on what the deal was, but boasted that President
Jonathan was his deputy as Bayelsa State Governor, and was part of the
entire deal that he would disclose in a memoir he is writing.
"Like
I said, the pardon was negotiated and if I fulfilled my own part
of the
bargain, why shouldn’t the Federal Government fulfill its part?” he
asked.
“President Goodluck Jonathan was part of the negotiating
team. There
is no person in this country that knows issues
surrounding
Alamieyeseigha better than Mr President. He was my deputy
governor and
all that transpired were known to him. I am already writing
my memoir. At the appropriate time, you will know that my pardon was
in order.”
Reviewing the comment today, a political observer in Abuja described Alamieyeseigha “a balloon of hot air.”
He
told SaharaReporters, “There is nothing that an individual convict
could have negotiated with the federal government by which to obtain
pardon. Alams did not negotiate anything and could not have negotiated
anything.
This is like IBB telling Nigerians he will soon
disclose the reason for annulling the 1992 elections. IBB has been
making that promise for 20 years now, but he cannot fulfill it because
words cannot frame the depth of his betrayal of Nigeria.
Alams
took advantage of a weakling in presidential office that used to be his
Deputy Governor, that is all. I feel sorry for Nigeria and Nigerians.”
Saharareporters gathered that Alamieyeseigha has begun moves to
throw
his full questionable weight behind President Jonathan's 2015
presidential ambitions, as that is the only way the ongoing hoax can
survive.
