It has been alleged that former Delta state governor, James Ibori’s imprisonment by the British Government is because he called for fiscal federalism to enable the people of the Niger Delta region to control their resources.
The kinsmen of the former governor issued an 11-point communiqué at the end of the Oghara 2016 Summit held in Asaba, the state capital, on Thursday.
The communiqué was signed by an elder brother to the former governor and the Unugbrogodo of Ogharefe, Chief Williams Ibori; the Unugbrogodo of Oghareki, Chief Williams Usabor; and the Chairman of the summit, Chief Emmanuel Ighomena.
In the communiqué, the people of Oghara Kingdom in the Ethiope West Council Area of the state also lauded Ibori, who was a governor from 1999 to 2007, for laying the foundation for the state development.
The communiqué read, “Despite his good works for which he was lauded by all and sundry, the travails of our son, Chief Ibori, is mainly the fallout of his unrelenting stand and clamour for fiscal federalism through the control of resources of the Niger Delta by her people. We therefore unequivocally call for his immediate and unconditional release by the British government.”
Indigenes of Oghara Kingdom in the Ethiope West Council Area of the state attended the summit which also adopted an economic framework for the development of the kingdom.
