CAMPAIGN/POLITICS OF CALUMNY/HATE AND IGNORANCE
There is this campaign making the rounds purportedly targeted to propagate falsehood against the principal. This is grossly the mastermind of mischief makers. In this piece, I am particularly inclined to correct that calumnous/ignorant impression as follows-
Chief Timi Alaibe has not been regularly 'stepping down' in his governorship ambition as you ignorantly believed or as your pay masters contracted you to propagate (spread). This I can substantiate painstakingly. For the records, Chief Timi Alaibe joined the race for the first time in 2002/2003. He (Timi Alaibe) was projected by Chief Olusegun Obasanjo (the then president of the FRN) who was equally seeking a reelection bid as Chief DSP Alamieyeseigha (then governor of Bayelsa state). Recall that Chief Alamieyeseigha who was wary of Timi Alaibe's popularity breached party constitution/guidelines and used appointees of the government instead of party delegates to conduct the primaries of the Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP). This procedure was manifestly mared by irregularities that Timi Alaibe proceeded to the Federal High Court (FHC) challenging the outcome.
While the case was pending and the period for nomination and substitution of candidates by political parties closed in, and following reconsiliations between Obasanjo and Alamieyeseigha for what was described as 'for the best interest of the party', then Mr president (OBJ) who was projecting Timi Alaibe asked him to withdraw the pending matter in the FHC. Timi Alaibe paid the ultimate price for the interest of the PDP in 2003. If the primaries were nullified PDP would not have been able to sponsor a candidate for that election of 2003. Now how does that sound like stepping down?
Following chief Alamiyeseigha's travails in London, 2005; Timi Alaibe who was still ambitious, in 2006 took advantage of the party congress and overhauled the PDP structure in Bayelsa state. A period some expected Mr Alaibe to be walking to the Government House. Before the election the Fred Agbedi led exco of the state's PDP, the LGAs excos and wards working committees were suspended for allegedly biasness thereby demolishing Timi Alaibe's giant hope for the Creek Haven job. A parallel exco was inaugurated chaired by Dr Tarila T. at the state level which followed suit for the LGAs. Timi retired to his political tent but before he did that, he extended his sportsmanship- went up to Goodluck Jonathan, congratulated him even before the primaries elections and struck a deal for elective positions in the interest of his followers. The result was 60% for Goodluck and 40% for Timi Alaibe in the Senate, Reps, and HOA positions. I call that good politics for that selfless principal who is not desperate for power. After all, politics can only be an art of the possible.
Goodluck (then substantive governor) became the flagbearer for the PDP but was eventually elevated to the national politics before the general elections. Howbeit, Chief Timipre Sylva became the governor of Bayelsa state in 2007. The next dispensation was 2011 when Timi Alaibe opted for the opposition. Timi stired the Labour Party in Bayelsa state wherefore, he single handedly funded the party. Elections where postponed following the rulings on the tenure elongation case in Bayelsa state. Again may I ask how does this look like 'stepping down' to you?
Timi Alaibe returned to the PDP in 2012 prepared to contest the polls but was never cleared by the party. His return to the party may not be denied the fact of his understanding that his ambition can hardly be realised through opposition (especially from one unpopular party). For instance, in 2011 the LP won only one seat of the 24 members HoA. Before the 2012 polls, that one single member had already cross-carpeted to the dominating PDP in the House. Follows the 2015 governorship elections in Bayelsa state.
In 2015 while the All Progressive Congress (APC) already won the center, Timi Alaibe joined the APC, a party that was near decay in Bayelsa state. Through the mega defection that took him to the APC, the APC in Bayelsa state was rejuvenated. APC in Bayelsa state had no party secretariats in all 24 LGAs but Timi sponsored and created identity for the party in all the LGAs and all the wards in Bayelsa state. The APC guber primaries collegial election became so hot and bloody because one candidate became too desperate. Although the electorates were battle ready (for they believed in Timi Alaibe), then there was a divine intervention from the APC national leadership that Timi Alaibe had to give peace a chance instead of putting the lives of fellow Bayelsans in the line. How does this sound like 'stepping down' in your poor imagination? Recall that the government house celebrated even before the general election because the APC surrendered to that unpopular deperado. If it interests you, I have a piece on Timi Alaibe on my wall.
