Popularly called the ‘Governor-General of the Ijaw Nation,’ Mr. Alamieyeseigha was the first Executive Governor of Bayelsa State, serving between 1999 and 2005 when he was impeached.

His impeachment followed his escape from London in order to evade justice after he was accused money laundering.

He was, however, later prosecuted in Nigeria, convicted and jailed for corrupt practices.
