Ibori Has Suffered Enough, Ijaw Group Tells Jonathan
An Ijaw group, the Ijaw People’s Development
Initiative (IPD) in Delta State, over the weekend, called on President
Godluck Jonathan to grant presidential pardon to the former governor of
the state, Chief James Ibori, before his exit from Aso Villa Vanguard
reports.
The National President the group, Mr. Austin Ozobo, in an interactive session with newsmen, said, “Chief Ibori has suffered enough and there is no justification for not granting him clemency, as had been done to others.”
Ozobo said Ibori was not the only corrupt leader in the country, but unfortunately, he has undergone indescribable hardship more than others.
“Ibori should be freed. Hundreds of persons, who looted heavily from government coffers are walking freely in the streets. The continuous incarceration of one corrupt man among a million other corrupt citizens cannot change the menace of high level corruption in the country.
‘’Ibori’s imprisonment could be seen as a witch-hunt and such is highly barbaric and provocative and the Nigerian government must quickly do something about his matter.
