Member, Delta State Board of Management, Federal Medical Center, Keffi, Nasarawa State, Dr Ebenega Okorodudu has asked states and federal governments to immortalize the late Senator Pius Akpor Ewherido, immediate past senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District at the nation’s upper legislative chamber, as well as ensure the speedy release of former Governor of the State, Chief James Ibori, from London prison.
Addressing Journalists , Dr. Okorodudu submitted that the late Senator has affected the lives of the people of the nation, the state and particularly, Delta Central Senatorial District through provision of social activities, scholarship awards, human capital development, infras-tructural development and through study and advancement of his native Urhobo, within the brief period he was in the Senate, while Chief Ibori has contributed in no small measure towards the realization of the 13 percent derivation which is now being enjoyed across the Niger Delta region.
He added that such good gestures should not be swept under the carpet. Dr Okorodudu who implored the Federal and States governments to fast -track a means of releasing the former governor from the British custody where he is currently serving a jail term for offences bordering on money laundering, said the ex-governor is only a human being who can err, but if after owning up and apologizing to his people and the nation, he should have been given a
very minimum sentence.
