Ibori’s £4.2m Repatriated Loot: We’ve Sent Protest Letter To Buhari – Okowa
Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta state, says his administration has written a protest letter to President Muhammadu Buhari over loots recovered from former Governor James Ibori.
Okowa stated this on Wednesday night when he featured on Channels Television programme Politics Today monitored by The Nation.
The governor said: “On our part, I have spoken with the Attorney-General of the federation. My Attorney-General went to have a meeting with him. We are working, and we are likely to come on the same page. We have written a formal letter of protest to Mr President.
“Ours is to convince the federal government to know that the money ought to return to Delta.”
Okowa noted that if the money cannot be sent to Delta, it should be spent on projects in the state.
The British Government had on Tuesday (09/03/2021) announced its resolve to return to Nigeria £4.2million being part of the funds so far recovered from friends and family members of Ibori.
The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Ms Catriona Laing, who disclosed this in Abuja, said the amount was the first tranche of such planned returns by the British Government.
Nigeria’s Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, had in response to Ms Laing said that President Muhammadu Buhari has directed that the returned loots be deployed for completion of the second Niger Bridge, the Lagos to Ibadan expressway and the Abuja to Kano expressway projects.
