Senator Ighoyota Amori representing Delta Central district during an interview session with SAHARA REPORTERS discussed his relationship with the former governor of Delta State, James Ibori, who is currently in custody in the UK for money laundering and corruption charges.
Amori said, ''Let me put this bluntly to you. I visit James Ibori once every month. But I am not the only one who visits James Ibori. There is an avalanche of people—ministers, governors, Nigerian ambassadors—visiting James Ibori in prison. That should tell you about the person of James Ibori''.
Speaking of his loyalty to Ibori, Amori said, ''I was the secretary of the political party that made Ibori governor. I became his Commissioner for Education and his political advisor. We became so close. His mother is from my village. It is very wrong to say I’m a stooge for him''.
