Why Is Jailbird James Ibori Celebrated In His Homeland? by Naijiant: 2:25pm On Dec 17, 2016 |
In August 2016, former Delta state governor James Onanefe Ibori (1999–2007) turned 57. In his hometown Oghara his birthday was celebrated in his absence, with gigantic cakes that weighed as much as a toddler born in the four years since Ibori was sentenced to 13 years in jail for fraud. Ifeanyi Okowa, the current governor of Delta state, and a member of Ibori’s cabinet while in office, bankrolled newspaper advertorials and released a statement proclaiming “the sterling contributions of Ibori to the development of Delta State and Nigeria” as “legendary.”More: http://www.naijiant.com/guestcolumn/jailbird-james-ibori-celebrated-homeland/ |

You should ask why the convicted duo of Bola and Remi Tinubu are worshipped as regional political heavyweights in yoruba land despite their drug dealing past or why a mutinous war criminal hypocrite and certificate forger like buhari is considered a saint by many. 1 Like 1 Share |
