Alamieyeseigha Laid to Rest

By Correspondent

 The remains of the first civilian governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, was on Saturday laid to rest in Amassoma, Southern-Ijaw local government area of the state. The late former governor was buried after a commendation service by the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion). At the burial ceremony, the incumbent governor of the state, Seriake Dickson maintained that the demise of Alamieyeseigha was a trying time for the people of the Ijaw nation. The governor described the deceased a bridge builder who believed in what was right for his people. According to him, “A bridge builder has departed in our state; a man who knows what is right and just. “We know we have lost a true hero, but we have put ourselves together and pray for his gentle soul to rest in peace.” On his part, immediate past president Goodluck Jonathan noted that the deceased former governor was a man of vision who brought development to the state. Jonathan said, “He brought to us the Niger-Delta University (NDU); he was a man with vision, a champion for peace, unity and social integration.”
