“It was an honour to provide quality and effective representation for my constituents and contribute to the growth and development of our state through the PDP.”
They highlighted the governor’s determination to open up the state through the ongoing senatorial road projects — particularly the recent award of the Yenagoa–Oporoma Road contract to connect Eniwari and Ondewari communities — describing it as “a development worth celebrating.”
The aides commended Governor Diri for his infrastructural drive and numerous legacy projects which, they noted, have endeared him to the people and made their work of projecting his achievements much easier.
The allegation was made on Monday by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, in a post on his verified X (formerly Twitter) account.
We pray for greater grace, wisdom and divine guidance of the Almighty, and urge Otu to remain steadfast while sustaining his vision for Cross River’s economic growth and advancement.
“As the sun set, one thing was certain: Tompolo’s presence had once again awakened the heart of Izon youth. His leadership continues to inspire, his name commands respect, and his mission for peace, progress, and empowerment remains a guiding light for generations yet unborn.”
“I have resigned my membership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) along with the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Abraham Ingobere, other members of the State Assembly, elected Local Government officials, my commissioners and other appointees. While this decision has become imperative for obvious reasons, I would like to appreciate our supporters and the good people of Bayelsa State for your understanding.”
Speakers at the event emphasised Alamieyeseigha’s pivotal role in the struggle for resource control and true federalism, noting that his contributions remain relevant to contemporary debates on Nigeria’s political structure.
“If we want this country to move forward, the sub-national governments should not be controlled from the centre. If we want this country to develop, you cannot use the resources from one region to create more local government areas in another region in order to feed that region and then starve the area where these resources are coming from. That is not federalism.”
“We need to work together as Africans and tell the story of how Africans are developing Africa. We are looking forward to a robust relationship with you.”
