• A New Era For Delta APC

 

Former governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori, known for his political prowess, has recently caused quite a stir in the political arena after meeting with the president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is speculating widely that the former governor has ousted Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and taken control of the Delta All Progressives Congress (APC) party’s structure.

 

Many people view this action as a political masterstroke because it effectively places Ibori in a position of power and influence within the APC, not just in Delta State but across the nation.

The dislodgement of Senator Omo-Agege, who was the governorship candidate of the Delta APC, came as a surprise to many political analysts who had previously predicted that he would remain in that position for the foreseeable future. However, Ibori’s strong political network and his ability to mobilise support from within the party have proven to be too much for Omo-Agege to handle.

It is widely believed that Ibori’s move to take over the Delta APC structure is part of a wider plan to consolidate his political power in the state and position one of his sons, David Edevbie, as the Delta APC governorship candidate in 2027.

This move is seen as a strategic one, as Ibori is known to have a strong support base in Delta State, and his political influence extends to other parts of the country as well.

 

Furthermore, with Ibori’s vast political experience and his ability to navigate the murky waters of Nigerian politics, many believe that he is the right man to lead the APC in Delta State and to ensure that the party remains on a strong footing ahead of the next round of elections.

“Former Governor Ibori Seeks Presidential Pardon from President-Elect Tinubu”

 

Former Governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori, recently met with the President-elect of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, in Rivers State. The purpose of their meeting was to seek a presidential pardon for Ibori, who was convicted on corruption charges and sentenced to 13 years in prison. Ibori, who has served six years of his sentence, is hoping to be released from prison and have his sentence reduced or overturned.

The meeting between Ibori and Tinubu has sparked controversy, with many Nigerians questioning the motives behind the meeting. Some have accused Tinubu of trying to gain political capital by aligning himself with Ibori, while others have criticised Ibori for seeking a pardon after being found guilty of corruption.

 

Despite the criticism, both Ibori and Tinubu remain optimistic about their chances of securing a presidential pardon. They have reportedly been in talks with President Muhammadu Buhari and other top government officials, and they are confident that they will be able to convince them to grant Ibori a pardon.

If Ibori is granted a presidential pardon, it would be a major victory for him and his supporters. It would also send a strong message to other corrupt politicians that they can get away with their crimes if they have the right connections and influence.

 

However, it would also undermine the government’s efforts to fight corruption and promote transparency in Nigeria’s political system.

Convicted former governor of Delta State, James Ibori, has reportedly met with President-elect Bola Tinubu to seek a presidential pardon. Ibori was convicted in the UK in 2012 for money laundering and conspiracy to defraud and served a prison sentence of almost five years. Since his release, Ibori has been fighting to clear his name and seek a return to politics in Nigeria.

 

 

It remains to be seen whether Tinubu will grant Ibori’s request for a presidential pardon, but the meeting between the two has sparked speculation about the future of Nigerian politics and the role of convicted politicians in the country’s political landscape.

In the light of the above, all hopes of Delta APC to have Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Ibori support the legal battle of Senator Omo Agege, may have been buried.

 

“The only person that is “coming” to Government House is Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori. And it is the prayer of Deltans that God gives him the grace to perform beyond the expectations of the people so that the 2027 election will be easier for him”, a source said.

But in a swift reaction, close aides to the former Governor James Onanefe Ibori who did not want their names in the print dispelled the story as untrue adding. According to them, “We are aware that our Oga is in love with APC at the moment because of the ways of PDP and if you observe he was not prominent during Campaigns in Delta State, to say he has taken over APC, is not true because he has not officially dumped PDP. As much as we know, he is still in PDP”.
