I Did Not Order Shooting To Evade Arrest- Timi Alaibe

A frontline politician in Bayelsa state and former Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission Mr. Timi Alaibe has denied ordering his security men to shoot in order to evade arrest in Bayelsa state.

Mr. Alaibe was alleged to have ordered his security men to shoot in order to avoid being arrested on sanitation day in Bayelsa but in a telephone conversation with our reporter from Abonnema in Rivers State, the All Progressives Congress APC stalwart in the state said the allegation was born out of mischief by political enemies. Mr. Alaibe while speaking as at 5:29 pm on telephone said it will be irresponsible and mischievous of anybody to link him with an incident he did not participate or know anything about. “I can tell you truthfully that since the day I declared for APC in Bayelsa state I have not gone back there for any function either personal or public. Today I am speaking to you from Abonnema in Rivers state where I came to attend a burial. I was never in Bayelsa state neither was I involved in any such incident as alleged by rumour mongers. Somebody wants to score a cheap political point by linking or including me to his mischievous imaginations” Mr. Alaibe said.

Mr. Alaibe attributed the allegation to dirty politics of the opposition who are afraid his profile. “You know that since my decision to jettison the underperforming PDP in the state, there have been allegations upon allegations against my person. This crude politics will not work at all.” He stressed.

It should be noted that since Mr. Timi Alaibe led over a thousand followers to the All Progressives Congress APC, there have been allegations against his person with one group alleging that he is broke and has been name dropping President Buhari’s name and that of ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo to raise money for his aspiration something he vehemently refuted ascribing such allegations as a figment of the mischievous imaginations of his political detractors.

The gale of defections in the National Assembly last week was followed by an advice from no one else than Sen. Abu Ibrahim that the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and others in the fold of the All Progressives Congress APC that are still masquerading in the party should resign their membership of the party. This call which also implies that they resign their positions as leaders of the various arms of the National Assembly is yet to be complied with by those concerned as at the time of writing this piece Whatever their reasons for still staying put in the party may be, the fact of the matter is that their continued stay in the party has become a sore which must be extricated from the body.
