The Peoples Democratic Party in Bayelsa State has accused Timi Alaibe, the governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, of donating N10 billion to the failed third term project of former President, Olusegun Obasanjo.
The party released a statement to this effect through its state secretary, Godspower Keku.
PDP says Alaibe can’t be trusted with public funds, owing to his past antecedents.
Alaibe, who was the Managing Director of Niger Delta Development Commission, under Obasanjo’s administration, was described as ‘a desperate power monger’.
The statement said in part:
“It is a shame that somebody like Alaibe is coming out to say he wants to contest for governor of the state. The question to ask him is: what is he coming to offer? What was his antecedent at NDDC?
In his years as the managing director of NDDC, what did he do to better the lot of Bayelsans or the state in spite of all the opportunities available to him? Is it not true that instead of helping his own people, he chose to empower his friends from the North and South West?
Now is it not important to ask him if he actually loves Bayelsans; he should account for all the billions of naira budgeted and released for the construction of roads and water projects for Bayelsa State.
Where are the roads and water projects in the state and what happened to the money so budgeted and released for this purpose? Who is Alaibe fooling? Surely, Bayelsans don’t trust him. His tenure at NDDC was a complete disaster.”
