“All my Accounts are Frozen ( Personal, Company, Cooperative Accounts). Its been almost 3 years now. All my Assets Sealed. All my Business Shut Down. No Contract. My Properties Stolen or Vandalised. My BVN is on Central Bank of Nigeria. My life under Threat.

“I was Declared Wanted by EFCC. My wife was joined to be declared Wanted for what she knows nothing about. All her accounts frozen and businesses disrupted. For almost three years it has been a stalemate. 97 Law Suits to tackle.

“I paid out over N22 Billion before crises struck. With all the shortcomings what result could I achieve to remedy the situation in the Last 3 years. When a business thrives the people involved enjoy it. When a business crashes all involved suffer setback. My intentions were genuine but it happened ( story for another day). I was arguably the most influential figure in Bayelsa in 2020/2021.

“I turned down Government Appointment because I wanted Baraza to succeed. I attended 3 weddings and two government function in 12 months. I truly wanted Baraza to survive.

“There was peace in the land. Kidnapping died. Criminality reduced. There was no need for additional policing in Bayelsa. Government House Patronage died because people were prospering in Bayelsa.

“We have held General Meetings.

There were leakages in the system by those in charge. The security agencies were notified. I am the head. I have taken responsibility to rectify the losses. All the pains are highly regretted.

“All I asked was my right to freedom to work hard to bring solution. 3 years have passed and no significant. Who expected success in the present circumstances? All we need is understanding, patience and time. This issue will eventually be sorted out.

“Now to my birthday, I NEVER celebrated it. My brethren organised a Praise Service to honour God. My brethren are fully aware of the crises. I his nothing from them. They trust me. I only shared in status and story. Not publicly. When it comes to praise of God I am sorry I have no apology for that.

“I thank those that still trust me. I thank those that decide to never leave me because they never forget the good memories of yesterday. I thank those that have insulted me because it’s a reference point for future glory. I thank those that have cursed. In heaven those words are blessings.

“All I ask is let all things calm down and give me time under a peaceful condition and solution will come. This I covenant with my life. God bless you all,” he added.
