Ibori made this known at a thanksgiving service organised in his honour by the people of Oghara Kingdom at the First Baptist Church, Oghara in Delta State.
Addressing the congregation, Ibori said, “Today, I have decided to speak for myself, I am not a thief. I cannot be a thief. Today is the day they say I should give testimony to God. For those that know me, you know that my entire life is a testimony itself and I have said it over and over again that my life is fashioned by God, directed by God, sealed, acknowledged and blessed by God and I believe that since the day I was born"
This is the first time the former governor spoke in public since his return from the United Kingdom where he served a 13-year jail term for money laundering.

To
be frank with you ibori is not a thief because during his tenure as a
governor. He performed very well and I put it to you that no one will
beat his record in delta state.

If
ibori is a thief then what about Amechi and the rest? Look whether you
like it or not, believe it or not, see every politician and all our
leaders are bloody criminals.

Ibori
is a repentant thief who has served his time for his offence. So we
need to stop all these ado about him. He is better than the rest who has
neither served time nor return stolen loots.

BIG THIEF

Ibori said he's not a thief and someone said he has repented, does his statement sound like someone who has repented??????
Ifeanyi Benson
If someone got punished of wrong he or she has done,
Does it means the person has repented???.
Does it means the person has repented???.

Isn't that what Bode George also said when he came out of prison and
