“Alamieyesiegha became the victim of great hypocrisy masquerading as
\nnationalism and anti-corruption fight.”The above quote is excerpted from a statement by James Onanefe Ibori, the
\njailbird former governor of Delta state on the death of his chummy buddy
\nand former colleague in office, Chief DSP Alamieyeseigha who died about a
\nweek ago. Many would be quick to dismiss Ibori’s summation as that of an
\naching mind mourning the fate of a comrade in crime. But that poignant
\nsentence speaks to the conscience of Nigeria. It pours salt on the open
\nwound of our contorted national psyche. If we look beyond the messenger
\nand behold the message then we may well retain the redeeming hope that
\nNigeria’s case is not a lost one. But to dismiss the message because the
\nbearer is someone we love to hate is simply tantamount to living in
\ncontinued self denial the consequence of which is an inevitable plunge
\ndown the precipice.\u00a0 This is an eternal lesson the passage of
\nAlamieyeseigha offers the country. We can conveniently forget all the
\nhalf-hearted tributes that have been poured on him but Nigeria’s woes will
\nonly worsen if we sidestep the ultimate opportunity of national moral
\nreawakening his travails and eventual death presents. This is because a
\nnation without morals is one in the deep morass of directionlessness. And
\nit is no surprise that Nigeria has wandered endlessly in the wilderness of
\ndenial, deceit and conceit contrived by a conscious-seared elite. And make
\nno mistake about it, the story of DSP Alamieyeseigha is partly the story
\nof elite conspiracy- a tale of dog eat dog in the brutal jungle of might
\nis right. Not everyone will agree with my submission but only those, I
\nrepeat, only those who crafted, perpetuate and benefit from the faulty
\nfoundations of the country will disagree that Alamieyeseigha’s persecution
\npackaged as prosecution is a function of the selective justice that is the
\nbane of the country. And this selective justice is oiled and sustained by
\nregular doses of selective amnesia dished out by the media on the
\norchestration of course, of the superintendent wing of the elite class.
\nAlamieyeseigha was conquered and has finally submitted to eternal
\nimmortality but let no one glory in the story of his travails in public
\noffice. Because like we have seen again and again in this country, many of
\nthose who were once entrusted with public trust fell short of the moral
\ncompass. And this includes those who threw darts at him from the oozing
\ncocoons of their corrupt edifice. But no matter how long it takes and no
\nmatter how far it strays, the chicken will always come home to roost. It
\nis a national shame however you look at it that it is a James Ibori that
\nhas from the confines of his UK prison walls gone beyond the sophistry of
\nboring condolence statements to prick our national conscience with the
\nsharp needle of Alamieyeseigha’s demise. Yes Ibori is serving prison term
\nin London but there are many members of his class who are held hostage in
\ntaller prison walls built by their conscience. They are the ones who look
\nin the mirror and deep down in their optical channels know that the image
\nthey see (and present to the gullible public) is not really theirs. They
\nare the ones who entered public poor without a penny but exited richer
\nthan the mind can imagine. They are those who go to court to secure
\nperpetual injunctions against lawful inquisition into their ill-gotten
\nwealth. They are those who hide under the cover of political persecution
\nto ward off legal prosecution. They are the ones who bought their liberty
\nwith part of the loot they stashed while in service. They are the ones who
\nchallenge their opponents to go to court over fraud allegations on them
\nbut freely convict same individuals when the reverse is the case. They are
\nthe ones who get rewarded with fresh political appointments for \u2018working
\nfor the victory of the party\u2019 notwithstanding legal investigations into
\ntheir past stewardship. They are the ones who pontificate as nationalist
\npatriots but balk at attempts to question their misdeeds in office. They
\nparade the corridors of power and peddle authority and influence secured
\nthrough false pretences. Alamieyeseigha may not be hero to many beyond his
\nIjaw nation but I argue vehemently that some of those who present
\nthemselves as heroes are actually the villains of Nigeria’s progress.
\nAlamieyeseigha was toppled from office as governor of Bayelsa State in
\nvery shameful circumstances. His fall from grace began in September 2005
\nwith his arrest at Heathrow airport by the Metropolitan police on charges
\nof money laundering. Events swirled swiftly thereafter to culminate in his
\nremoval from office following impeachment by the Bayelsa State House of
\nAssembly. He was subsequently arraigned in court for corruption by the
\nEconomic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) where he pleaded guilty in
\na plea bargain deal which included return of some his loot traced to safe
\nhavens both at home and abroad. Alamieyeseigha’s trajectory was a
\ncelebrated story sensationalized by the media and lapped upon by an
\nexcited public hungry for retributive justice. Sadly however, the
\nretributions sought by the public was no more than the fleeting orgasmic
\ntype which only relieves the momentary craving of the nympho but builds up
\nmomentum for the next laying. That is why the nation never bothered to
\ninterrogate the narrative put out on the Alamieyeseigha saga by mainstream
\nmedia and its sponsors. The sensationalism was such that any other
\nnarrative was considered haram and not worth contemplation or serious
\nconsideration even if for the sake of balance and fairness. Not even the
\nside of the story told by Alamieyeseigha himself sold more than a few
\npennies. But whatever the prejudices and impressions embedded over the
\nsorry episode, critical minds noted and indeed bookmarked the roles played
\nby key characters as narrated by the lead character himself. Going through
\nthe interview Alamieyeseigha granted Vanguard newspaper in its June 28,
\n2009 edition, the shameful ordeal of the former governor cannot be removed
\nfrom the less than altruistic involvement of former president Olusegun
\nObasanjo and ex EFCC boss, Nuhu Ribadu. Both men represented and
\nchampioned the cause of that section of the feuding elite which bayed for
\nAlamieyeseigha’s blood. Without meaning to force the counter narrative
\ndown your throat, it is hard to remove Alamieyeseigha\u2019s travails from his
\npolitical differences with Obasanjo at the time. According to the former
\ngovernor, his sin was his support for then vice president Abubakar Atiku
\nand for those who remember the life-and-death Obasanjo fought with his
\ndeputy at that time, such sin was very grievous indeed. He said in the
\ninterview that Obasanjo \u201chad threatened me that he would demonstrate to me
\nthat he wasn\u2019t only Mr. President but that he would show me that he was
\nalso the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.\u201dIt would be puerile to take the claims in the interview hook, line and
\nsinker but it would be demonstration of ingrained prejudice to dismiss
\neverything said. Importantly, it is instructive to note that neither
\nObasanjo nor Ribadu who were copiously mentioned in the said interview are
\non record to have convincingly countered Alamieyeseigha on those claims
\ntill his death. May God continue to bless Obasanjo for his past efforts to
\nkeep Nigeria one. But may God also judge him for his roles in such elite
\nsquabbles as the one in which Alamieyeseigha got caught in. No man is
\nwithout virtues but it is a vice in itself for a man to portray himself as
\nwithout vice.\u00a0 Alamieyeseigha acknowledged his vice, suffered for it and
\ntried to rise above it till he died. May his soul rest in peace.<\/p>\n
