Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan speaks with Senator Ben Murray-Bruce at the Bayelsa state government's Valedictory State Council session held in honor of the former governor of the state, Diepreye Alamiyeseigha.

Jonathan wrote on Twitter on Friday, ''As we send Chief DSP Alamieyeseigha home, my family and I and indeed the many lives he touched remember his own life. We thank God for the privilege, pleasure, benefit and honour of knowing the great humanitarian that was Chief DSP Alamieyeseigha. God used Chief DSP to uplift the lives of many Nigerians and as he goes home, my family and I pray that he enjoys eternal repose in God. Adieu Boss! Adieu Chief Alamieyeseigha. You are gone but will never be forgotten. Rest well with your creator.''

Alamieyeseigha's remains will be interred in his country home Saturday April 9 in Amassoma, Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa state.
