Nigerians Decry Attempt To Free Ibori

Britain’s Justice Minister Jeremy Wright had said Thursday that the eligibility of Ibori to complete his prison term in Nigeria would be determined by Nigeria and UK governments.

Wright gave the clarification in Abuja when he visited the Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, Professor Viola Onwuliri, shortly before he signed a Prisoners’ Transfer Agreement (PTA) between both countries.

This move has raised some suspicion as can be seen in various opinion polls by Public analyst.  It is said in some parlance that such a move is a calculated attempt in bringing back the once and still very influential Political colossus from Delta State to Nigeria where he may be pardoned on arrival. Well such a move may not be unprecedented as this government has the reputation of doing so.

This move I want to posit is an after thought of a desperate President who needs some men with guts and charisma to help him navigate around the political quagmire Mr President has since been enmeshed.

2014 is here and so expect just anything.
