		All this is being done to deny Bayelsa State of the federal allocation, and bring the affairs of the state to a halt in order to bring pressure on the House of Assembly to hasten my removal.

	Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections - Nigeria’s Bayelsa State in years of darkness
		Bayelsa State Governor, Goodluck Jonathan, resigned the fate of the state ever joining the national grid to a matter of indifference.

		That explains why almost every home in the state has a generator plant, and with all the attendant difficulty in finding petrol or diesel to buy in the state to power the generator sets (another irony).

	No. 1149: The Governor and the Loot
		Since the Bayelsa governor is to face trial in Nigeria once a prima facie case is established against him in London, the agencies that would try him at home, according to our sources, would collaborate with the State House of Assembly to realise the desire to prosecute the governor.
		Though, the governor is reportedly in control of the state chapter of the party and the House of Assembly, Sunday Tribune scooped that the national leadership of the party may want to demonstrate its total commitment to Obasanjo’s anti-corruption crusade, by mobilising for Alamieyesiegha’s impeachment.
		Our source stated that the EFCC might not be running against the law, if it arrests the governor on his return to the country, because the Commission had consistently maintained that beneficiaries of the immunity clause cannot lay any claim to it now, until the Supreme Court makes definite pronouncement on it.
