Birds of same feather, Jailed Ibori Uses Newspaper Advert To Congratulate Alamieyeseigha On Birthday

Imprisoned former Governor James Onafefe Ibori of Delta State today bought a full-page advert in a Nigerian newspaper to congratulate his peer, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, on his
60th birthday. Mr. Alamieyeseigha was a former governor of Bayelsa State. Like Mr. Ibori, he was ensnared in legal trouble in the UK for his money laundering activities. He escaped from UK authorities and arrived in Nigeria where he was tried by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and jailed.
Mr. Ibori’s preposterous birthday message to his fellow criminal appeared on page 16 of The Nation newspaper which is owned by former Governor Bola Tinubu of Lagos State, himself a hugely corrupt politician.
