FORMER governor of Delta, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, has warned that those people going to London, United Kingdom, to see his predecessor, Chief James Ibori and posting pictures and comments about him are creating more problems for him.
Uduaghan, who stated this in a Facebook post on Tuesday, asked those involved to “stop it.”
Ibori, who was the governor of the state between 1999 and 2007, was released from a United Kingdom prison on Wednesday, after serving a concurrent 13-year jail term for money laundering.
The Southwark Crown Court jailed him on April 17, 2012 after he pleaded guilty to a 10-count charge of money laundering and conspiracy to defraud.
Since his release, friends, family members and political associates have been paying him visits in his London home, where he is under house arrest, pending the conclusion of his asset confiscation case.
A video of one of such visits which had been trending on social media shows a senator from the state boasting about how Ibori “installed” governors and lawmakers from prison.
The video immediately drew public criticisms, with many already calling for Ibori’s extradition and further prosecution in Nigeria.
“For those going to London to see Chief James Ibori and posting pictures and making comments, please stop it.
“We appreciate your love for him but you can go quietly without the unnecessary publicity. You are creating more problems for him than you can ever imagine.
“Nigeria is a complex country and you must understand and respect people’s sensibilities,” Uduaghan wrote in his Facebook post.
