Nigerian Senator Captured Kneeling Before Ex-convict, Ibori

The Senator representing Delta South Senatorial District in the Red Chamber of the National Assembly, Senator James Manager, has been captured in a picture on his knees before a former Delta State Governor, Chief Onanefe James Ibori, most likely in his Oghara residence.

The 61-year-old senator who has been representing his constituency since 2003, in the picture, appeared to be begging Ibori, who is an ex-convict.

The Prime Minister of Tuomo Kingdom, High Chief Loyibo had earlier said that it was time for Urhobo and Delta people to give Ijaw people the chance to also produce the governor of the state.

SaharaReporters gathered that Senator Manager is one of the candidates that Ijaw people are planning to push to be the state governor in 2023.

On Monday, July 12th, the National Chairman of Delta Central for 2023, popularly known as DC-23, Chief Ighoyota Amori, predicted victory for the of the Ibori political family in both the governorship and other elections come 2023.

Amori made this known during a courtesy visit he made along with of the group to a prominent Ijaw leader, Chief Mike Loyibo, in the Burutu Local Government Area, to solicit the of the Ijaw for the emergence of an Urhobo 'son' as governor.

Amori disclosed that he had been in politics for long, saying he was the General Overseer of the James Ibori political family. He noted everyone that has become the state governor after Ibori, like Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan and Dr Ifeanyi Okowa are his brothers from the same family.

However, weeks after Amori's comment, Senator Manager was seen on his knees at Ibori's house.

Shame.

What's the problem? If he's offended his godfather should he not apologize?

One man mafia, but if its to be a governor of an oil rich state in a corrupt country, even me sef go lay down flat


I don't corruption, but it's obvious, there's no solution to corruption in Nigeria since we'll always pick sides based on tribal or religious lines...

My comment is realistic

u nor dey shame for dis ur post. A Senator representing a region kneeling before a looter of another region.

Whether people like am or not ibori Na strong force in Delta politics.

But God Almighty Na Baba for everything.

Everybody need help and dont ever mess with those bigger than u.

And someone still believe there's hope for this country, big shame

Pablo Escobar of Deltan politics

This a disgrace to our democracy.
Its dehumanizing.
This an abuse of power.
Shame on ibori(ex convict)

Even the current governor is friends with Ibori

The man is just too powerful in delta politics

The way James Ibori has held down Delta State for years without interruptions is unbelievable! No other state in Nigeria has been able to witness this kind of political dictatorship. Not even Lagos. Even when he was in prison, no rancor, no noise, no opposition. From prison in the UK, he kept his cousin as governor. Okowa that is there today prides himself as his protege! Openly too! Billions are seamlessly looted this way as Delta State suffers and yet the many egg heads and technocrats from that state simply keep quiet. It's unbelievable!

Would you have said the same thing if it was a picture of Tinubu and a senator in Lagos?

You hypocrites don’t rate us at all. You wail daily about Tinubu and give approval to senators kneeling down before a convicted criminal who control Delta state politics.

I’m glad some of us saw through the shenanigans of the anti-Tinubu crew a long time ago. They target Tinubu simply because they hated the south west and nothing else. Their hypocrisy is gradually unraveling. Spits!

Look at how he is licking the shoes of an ex convict who drained his state resources. At the end of the day it is always about the thieves you love to whom you praise while chastising the ones you hate.

I worked in lagos, Alausa-ikeja precisely and i can tell you much of what you don't know about Alausa and the government of lagos state. The last time i checked Tinubu family just claim an estate of about 50 occupant and you all kept mute. When Bullion van was going in and out of his house there was no keyboard to type your nonsense. You want to compare Lagos state and Delta state on what ground please?

Leave Ibori alone. When last did you hear Ibori talking about politics in Delta? When they move the governor's annexe back to Asaba where was your keybaord to type? Face the government of the day please.

Typical Nigerians for you

I don't care about them again

Were is the return loot?. I believe is already relooted.

You see how quick you are to put your useless nose in peoples business and at the same time justifying the foolishness of your actions??

IBORI AND Tinubu ARE THIEVES PERIOD. You cant justify Tinubu and berate Ibori...

Tinubu is the killer of Funsho williams...and this is a known fact, even in the SW and the issue will soon be brought to light!!

IBORI didnt falsify his date of Birth 16times!!...who does that if not a hardened criminal....Spits!!

What are you waiting for? Come and handcuff your father. Ibori looted my anus. So Okowa did what, Uduaghan did what? Mugu!

After 18 years as a senator
James Manager is a most useless fellow

See this clownish and hypocritical loser.
So you are even slaving away in far away Lagos while you turn blind eye to all the terrible looting and malistration going on in your neck of wood.

You come here to chastise Tinubu while you hold brief for the ex convict Ibori . Smh

I hope you know nairaland isn't so anonymous. We don't need ungrateful leeches like you in our civil service.
You'd soon be on your way to Delta to continue sucking the balls of your revered thief Ibori
