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!
