SENATOR HEINEKEN LOKPOBIRIS POLITICAL BRIGANDAGE By any standard the Ekeremor born Lawyer turned politician Senator HEINEKEN OCTOBER LOKPOBIRI is a lucky man. Born in 1967, Lokpibiri has a not too scintillating law degree from the Rivers State University of Science & Technology. After obtaining his law degree in 1994, there is no serious evidence that OCTOBER LOKPOBIRI practised law in old Rivers State. There is equally no evidence that he had worked anywhere in the civil service. He cannot be said to be a brilliant man, but luck beckoned on him n 1999 when Chief D.S.P. Alamieyeseigha hand picked him to contest for the Bayelsa State House of Assembly. He became Speaker of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly. His problem started when he became a self-aggrandizing, high handed leader who passed the legislative autonomy law. His ambitions ran counter to Governor Alamieyeseighas ambition. He was alleged to have been involved in the famous bombing of the House of Assembly complex and was subsequently impeached. Since then he has been used to brigandage. IN Bayelsa State, when the seat of the Federal Constituency is zoned to Ekeremor, the Senatorial Seat usually goes to Sagbama. The logic therefore is that Senator Heineken October Lokpibiri was never meant to contest the Senatorial seat and he never did. What happened on Sunday, 7th of December was that after the PDP Senatorial Primaries had been conducted and the results were being counted Lokpobiri stormed the venue with his thugs with a view to disrupting the counting of the ballot. WILL THIS DIE HEART BRIGAND GET AWAY WITH HIS ATROCITIES AND AN ATTEMPT TO DISRUPT THE COUNTING OF VOTES IN AN ELECTION FOR WHICH HE NEVER CONTESTED? DOES HEINEKEN LOKPOBIRI THINK THE SENATE IS HIS FATHERS KITCHEN? FROM A CULTIC DISPOSITION TO A BRIGAND, HEINEKEN LOKPOBIRI MAY NOT GO FREE AFTER SERVING OUT HIS TENURE AS A SENATOR. When I hear other versions of the story, I laugh because the act perpetrated by Heineken October Lokpibiri is a criminal act against the Electoral Act and the Constitution. OVER TO THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.
