Former governors Lucky Igbinedion, Obong Victor Attah, Achike Udenwa and Boni Haruna Thursday condoled with Governor Seriake Dickson in Yengoa, the capital of Bayelsa, over the death of Diepreye S.P. Alamieyeseigha.`The former governors, under the aegis ‘Class of 99’, also met with Alamieyeseigha’s family. Igbinedion, who spoke on his colleagues behalf said: “This democracy we are enjoying today is as a result of the solid foundation that the Class of 99 laid. No matter what anybody says without a solid foundation no building can stand for this long. DSP Alamieyeseigha was in the forefront of that struggle for true democracy, true federalism and fiscal responsibility, and above all, the struggle for the Niger Delta.
Dickson responded by thanking the delegation and all Nigerians for their show of love and concern over Alamieyeseigha’s death. Dickson said the state government and other stakeholders were still consulting with the Alamieyeseigha family on his burial.
