I will Expose Obasanjo- Alamieyeseigha...

In a recent interview in his Country home in Bayelsa state.

Former Governor of Bayelsa state Diepreye Alamieyeseigha talks about like after prison. Who knew it's been 10years since the scandal that practical tarnished his image as a person,a politician?

I actually lost count. I even thought he was still in prison till we saw that rare photo of him at Governor Dickson's re-election Campaign.  This week.

Well, in an interview with Vanguard Newspaper. He spoke of his regrets and all the awkward run into moments he had with former President of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo. He said the first time Obasanjo saw him after he was released from prison that he(Obasanjo) almost passed out. They were in an airport in Katsina and they ran into each other at the rest room. When Obasanjo saw him, In his Words;

’I have met Obasanjo at very close quarters twice since I came out of prison.  I did not know that he was at the VIP Lounge at the Katsina Airport to attend the marriage of the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua’s daughter. Obasanjo came face to face with me at the airport when I went to use one of the rest rooms. It happened that as I opened the door to ease myself, I saw Obasanjo sitting face to face with me and he almost passed out.  “But I held his hands. He was scared and he felt uneasy all through. Then he began to ask ‘DSP, DSP, DSP! What have I done to deserve shaking your hands?’ There were many people there, one of them was Kenny Martins, the then chairman of the Police Equipment Fund.  “I told Obasanjo ‘I was only shaking you for two reasons: one-because of the fear of the Almighty God, who created us and two, for the fact that I am the Ganuma Katsina and you are a visitor to my emirate and tradition demands that I should welcome visitors’. “That prompted Kenny to get up also and greet me, saying ‘great leader, great leader’ and he came and hugged me.’’

He  (Alamieyeseigha), who was granted state pardon by his former deputy governor and immediate past President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, last year, said that Obasanjo has not known peace because of the role he played in events leading to his impeachment, arrest and subsequent imprisonment.

 Alamieyeseigha's second post prison encounter with Obasanjo was on a Dubai bound flight...

In his words:   “The second encounter with Obasanjo was when we met on a flight going to Dubai. When Obasanjo came, I was already seated in the Business Class and he had no choice but to greet me.  But because of possible fear of seeing me, Obasanjo called out ‘Fayose, Fayose, Fayose.’ I protested to him that I am not Fayose and I said: ‘Former President Olusegun Matthew Okikiola Aremu Obasanjo, you are a devil incarnate.’ “I warned him not to talk again or he would face my anger. And I tell you, throughout the flight he could not say anything to me.  The only thing Obasanjo managed to say was to ask me whether I was the only one who had ever been sent to the prison. ‘DSP,  is it only you that entered prison? Don’t you remember that I was also imprisoned? You entered prison and I also did.’’

He went on to say that "I have a dossier on Obasanjo and I will expose him and Nigerians will read about it in my memoir,"
