Former governor of Delta State, James Ibori‘s company, Notore Chemical Industries, is set to emerge the top beneficiary of the Federal Government‘s N200billion agricultural interventionist scheme, SUNDAY PUNCH findings have shown.

Our correspondents found that Notore has been strategically positioned to supply N40bn worth of fertilizer under the Commercial Agriculture Credit Scheme established jointly by the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources to boost President Umaru Yar‘Adua‘s seven-point agenda.

Ibori was largely believed to have substantially supported the president‘s bid two years ago, a suspicion which many believe was behind the goodwill being enjoyed by him in the Yar‘Adua‘s administration.
Many have equally accused the authorities of soft dealing with Ibori in his ongoing trial by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for corrupt practices.
Media aide to the minister of Agriculture and Water Resources, Olu Lipede, denied that Notore was being favoured under the scheme simply because the company belongs to Ibori, even as he submitted that the former governor had a right to win government contracts.

Imagine the OIL THIEF still being carried along.

Being carried along by who?
What could possibly be the difference between Yaradua and Ibori? Cause I cant find any.

no comment.

How about that? How awesomely colorful and cool is this move? How about that for years he served as a Chief Executive Officer of a state and within that period, 75% of the state fund got diverted into private accounts?


How about that James Onanefe Ibori, ex- Governor of Delta State, an ex- convict - supermarket cashier in London became the Governor of Delta state and turned the treasury of Delta State to his own?


How about that he was indicted by a Court of Appeal, {Criminal Division} in Southwark Crown Court, London with an asset worth 17 Billion Naira?


How about that British prosecutors have gone ahead with the trial of three women who assisted James Ibori to launder monies looted from the treasury of Delta State. The women include his wife, Theresa Nkoyo, his former private assistant, Bimpe Pogoson, and his sister, Christie Ibie-Ibori?


The fourth woman, Mrs. Udoamaka Okoronkwo, has yet to return to the UK to be arraigned with the others since she was granted bail by a Federal High Court along with Ibori in February 2008.


How about the continued refusal of Nigeria's Attorney General, Aondoakaa, to sign off on the Mutual legal Agreement Treaty (MLATs) that could back most of the evidence to be used in the case? The prosecution at the Crown Court was presented with a letter written by Aondoakaa to the effect that the Metropolitan police was required to return all documents earlier provided to them by the EFCC.


How about that Ibori has used his influence with the Yar’Adua government to get two key witnesses and top EFCC police investigators Ibrahim Lamorde and Yahaya Bello removed from the EFCC? The former Head of the Governance Section of the EFCC and another potential witness, Ibrahim Magu, was arrested without being charged for any known offense.


How about the pregnant mothers dying for lack of basic hospital care, and the state you governed has no basic amenities, the youths jobless with no hope and desperate to leave even at the expense of their lives. How about the kids with no roof in their schools, tears in their eyes with no hope for one full meal in a day? It is said that the moral test of Government is how that Government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.


How about that the government which ought to protect its citizenry from monsters like this crowning his achievements with a contract of 40 billion Naira? How about that the charges against you by the EFCC been dropped? http://www.assetrecovery.org/kc/node/b1815de4-26f2-11de-900c-81c63910293a.3



The dead cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do so for them. And Justice requires that to lawfully constituted Authority there be given that respect and obedience which is its due; that the laws which are made shall be in wise conformity with the common good; and that, as a matter of conscience all men shall render obedience to these laws. It is the constant and perpetual will to allot to every man his due.


Yes, we may have blurred or have managed to erase the difference between right and wrong; we may have lost all sense of decency and morality but the truth is that the person that have lost his conscience has nothing left worth keeping.


This is downright disgusting, abhorrent and in every way a blow to the hope, wishes and dreams of 150 million souls who have entrusted or have been forced to entrust their destiny into the hands of this merciless individuals. We have been hanging the petty thieves and appointing the great ones to public office. This need to stop!
