Former Governor of Edo state, Adams Oshiomhole and Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, have eulogized former governor of Delta State, James Ibori, for his good works.

They were among the dignitaries, alongside former governor Emmanuel Uduaghan, who attended a reception in honour of Ibori

Oshiomhole, who spoke at the event on Saturday, said the ex-convict former governor was among those who fought for resource control during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

He added that Ibori fought for equity and justice for the minority ethnic groups, particularly those in the Niger Delta, adding that it was the reason people in the region were still celebrating him despite being jailed in the UK.

The reception was organised by the immediate past Secretary to the Delta State Government, Mr. Ovuozourie Macaulay, at Owhelogbo, Isoko North Local Government Area of the state.

Oshiomhole, who described Ibori as a bridge builder whose efforts helped many politicians to occupy political positions, urged him to continue using his position to positively contribute to the development of humanity.
