Alams Was A True Democrat–PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has expressed shock over the demise of former governor of Bayelsa State, DSP Alamieyeseigha, on Saturday at the teaching hospital in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

A statement signed on Sunday by the party’s spokesman, Olisa Metuh, quoted the Acting National Chairman of PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, saying that the party is “still in shock” over the incident, which he described as “deeply saddening.”

Secondus, who spoke on behalf of the National Executive Committee, NEC, and the PDP family nationwide, mourned the death of the former governor.

“The PDP mourns the demise of this great Nigerian,
who made immense contributions and sacrifices
towards the unity, stability and development of his
state and our dear nation both as a military officer
and a politician,” the statement said.

“Chief Alamieyeseigha was a true democrat; humble leader, brilliant administrator who had extraordinary love for his people. He was an outstanding party-man, who, despite his travails, remained loyal to the PDP at state and national levels to the very end

“The PDP sincerely commiserates with Governor Seriake Dickson, the Alamieyeseigha family, the Ijaw kingdom and the people of Bayelsa state and pray God to give them the fortitude to bear this great loss,” the statement further said.
