STATE PARDON: ALAMS SAYS PRESIDENT JONATHAN HAD NO CHOICE

E don tey way dem dey take us play draft for this country. 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. According to him,  the deal had been negotiated since the tenure of late President Umaru Yar'Adua. Alams said this in Lagos yesterday;

“Well, it (state pardon) started during the late President Yar’Adua’s
 reign It was a pardon that was negotiated. People who don’t know what happened are the ones talking. The pardon was negotiated and if I fulfilled my own part
of the bargain, why shouldn’t the Federal Government fulfill its part?”

He 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.

“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.” he said.

I weep for my country!
