Nigeria Decides 2019: Where Does James Ibori Stand?

James Ibori is one of the internationally prosecuted “political thieves” in the history of Nigeria. He was prosecuted by former colonial masters, the United Kingdom. The mid-aged man once served as Governor of Delta State, at a time the state boomed with oil wealth while citizens suffering damaging repercussions of the Niger-Delta oil-rich region. After his tenure as governor ended, James Ibori was prosecuted in a London Court for Financial Crimes. He was sentenced to 13 years in Jail and deported back to Nigeria after serving 6 years. He was later released and has remained quiet although his leftover wealth keeps him relatively powerful.

In 2018, James Ibori joined the Atiku For President Campaign team. He remained very optimistic that Atiku Abubakar had the potentials to become the next president of Nigeria under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). As Nigeria Decides 2019, Atiku and his many notorious supporters may have lost out of Aso Rock for at least the next four years.
