James Ibori Said "He's Not A Thief" by raymonwhizie(m): 11:33pm On Feb 12, 2017 |
I am not a thief, says Ibori
Former Delta state governor, Chief James
Ibori, has said he had been wrongly accused
and maligned by those who said he stole,
saying “I am not a thief, I cannot be a thief”.
Chief Ibori also said the biggest pain he felt
over his travails was the suffering his people
had to go through on account of his absence.
Speaking at a special thanksgiving service
organised in his honour by his immediate
community; the Oghara Kingdom, and held at
the First Baptist Church, Oghara, Chief Ibori
also said his only testimony and joy now is
the fact that he is alive and back to be with
his people.
According to the former governor, who
exhibited his overwhelming joy by dazzling
the huge crowd of politicians, clergy,
traditional rulers and other enthusiasts who
had graced the event, with dances, he had
deduced that the intents of those who were
behind his travails was to separate him from
his people.
He, however said he had no doubt that he
would return home as he had put everything
on God and believed that the God he trusted
would stand by him.
“Today I have decided to speak for myself, I
am not a thief, I cannot be a thief. Today is
the day they say I should give testimony to
God. For those that know me, you know that
my entire life is a testimony itself and I have
said it over and over again that my life is
fashioned by God, directed by
God, sealed, acknowledged, blessed by God
and I believe that since the day I was born.
“Like the Arch Bishop said, when this whole
commotion started, what was most painful to
me was the pain and suffering that my people
were going through.
“It has nothing to do with me as a person
because for some reasons like I said to you, I
drew my strength from God and somehow, I
knew that God would stand by me. I knew
that one day, and this day would come.
“I am indeed very pleased that I can now
stand before you and look at your faces,
faces that I have missed and those of you
that have indeed suffered the pains of my
absence. It has nothing to do with me.
“So, when I reflect, it gives me joy that all
your prayers, God has
answered. All your support and solidarity with
me all through this period, it is indeed not
what I can begin to say. Like what our former
chief of staff, Francis Agboroh said it is
“ungbikuable”.
“If I am to give testimony of my journey you
will not leave here. The only testimony that I
have is the fact that I am back and alive in
your midst. And again I say that I never had
any doubt in my mind that I would get back
home.
“When I looked at how things were going, I
discovered that they want to separate me
from you people. They want me to go to the
corner where I won’t be seen. That’s how I
see it. At a point I called my elder brother
(Former Governor Uduaghan) it is how I can
get home is what I am about to do now. It
was a pragmatic decision.
“I am happy to be home with my people.
There is nobody that can battle with the Lord.
Urhobo adage says there is time for
everything (okemutie). A day will come when
I will tell my story and every one of you will
hear me. Today is to thank God”, Ibori said.
