Amidst speculations that Ex-Gov James Ibori may join the
ruling All Progressives Congress, Gov Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa who heads the
Peoples Democratic Party’s reconciliation committee on Thursday visited Oghara,
the country home of Chief James Onanefe Ibori, former Governor of Delta who
recently returned from London after serving
jail term for money laundering..
During the visit, the Bayelsa Governor reportedly held a
closed door meeting with Chief Ibori in his residence.
It was gathered that the meeting which had politics as
top agenda also dwelt on peace and security in the Niger Delta.
The meeting also covered possible roles the former Delta
Governor, who still commands a lot of respect among his people, could play in
the niger Delta peace process.
The statement further disclosed that, the two leaders
equally discussed likely windows of opportunities for criminally minded youths
in the region to be more meaningfully engaged as well as protect some of the
critical national assets of the country within the region.
Dickson, according to the statement earlier spoken with
his Delta counterpart, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, expressed satisfaction with the
disposition and resolve of the former Governor to support current measures at
tackling the security challenges in the region.
Dickson was accompanied by the Secretary to State
Government, some members of the State Executive Council, including the
Commissioner of Information and Orientation, Hon. Jonathan Obuebite.
