IMMEDIATE past Delta State governor, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan and member, Delta State Post Primary Education Board, Dr Henry Ofa have lauded former Governor James Ibori who clocks 60 years today. He also reminisced the achievements of Chief Ibori popularly known as the Odidigborigbo of Africa, as governor and leader of the PDP in the state. “Once elected, Governor Ibori effectively used his office to push for and successfully negotiated a better deal for the state from the revenue accruing to the nation from oil. “In the Delta State, Ibori consciously and generously empowered a crop of young men and women in their political, ideological and financial dispositions with an eye on the future of Delta Politics. “He built bridges in impossible places, constructed roads in difficult terrains and empowered men, women and students economically,” Ofa recollected.
