Ancient Asaba town and its environs were literally paralysed on Wednesday in jubilation, following news of the release of ex-Governor of Delta State, James Onanefe Ibori. The news of his release from London prison where he had served jail term for money laundering and other offences filtered into Asaba and its environs in the early hours. Various Quarters’ residents, especially Asaba youths, rolled out their drums to celebrate the man they described as “Odidigborigbo.” The youths sang Asaba-Ibo songs along Nnebisi Road, Summit Junction, Okpanam Road and Anwai Road where they danced freely to drumbeats, causing serious traffic gridlock. Security agents and the popular Ogbeogonogo Market Women were not left out in the jubilation. The State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Barr. Peter Mrakpor, who spoke to journalists in Asaba, described Ibori’s release as a welcome development; adding that his contributions to nation building cannot be overemphasised. Advertisement “I’m particularly grateful and hope that the Federal Government would grant him state pardon,” Egodike said. One of the market women, Mrs. Esther Nnamdi, said: “We are grateful to God for his mercies. Ibori is a man and a great man, we are very happy for him”. In Government House and offices, civil servants and government appointees told stories of how Ibori developed the state. Palmer Osakwe, a civil servant, told our reporter, “Ibori is a great man; he developed the state. Indeed, we want him pardoned by the Federal Government.” A lawyer in Asaba, Barr. Lawrence Egodike, also appealed to Federal Government to grant the former governor state pardon, adding that the ex-governor contributed immensely to the development of the state. https://www.today.ng/news/nigeria/235014/delta-residents-celebrate-iboris-release-london-prison |

Chrisx1x:am sure u re among d wise men that visited Christ hence u got more sense but ur post lack logical reasoning I don't care if he loot or not that's not relevant to me but all am saying is I don't celebrate corruption. So If u think u does that's not my cup of tea but am sure at one time or d other u have complain about corrupt official but right now what are u doing? U re celebrating one U call him d best governor of delta state  Pls tell me in d first place what were they voted to do? Is to go there and transform d state or to sleep in d office? Best governor my foot, what ibori looted alone is more than what he did in delta or do u want us to start enumerating his loot to see d canker worm inside d can? Since u say I don't make sense Pls tell me who confer on him and when was he d leader of d urhobo nation? Am not among those that hide behind d walls of social media to say things that has no logic . I would implore u to stop celebrating looters to serve as deterrent to other corrupt officials 2 Likes |
