Top Nigerian senator, pictured kneeling before ex-convict James Ibori

Senator representing Delta South Senatorial District in the Red Chamber of the National Assembly, Senator James Manager, has been captured in a picture on his knees before a former Delta State Governor, Chief Onanefe James Ibori, in his Oghara residence.

The 61-year-old senator who has been representing his constituency since 2003, in the picture, appeared to be begging Ibori, who is an ex-convict.

The reason for his kneeling has however not been made public but there are speculations that it may be linked to the 2023 governorship elections.

The photo was shared by a Nigerian man, Femi Ogunsanwo on Facebook.

Inset picture has Senator James Manager (Delta South) kneeling in front of James Ibori.

A 5-term Senator, elected to the National Assembly since 2003. By 2023, the man
would have been in Senate for 20 years.

That brings me to next question why will a 61- year old man (born July 1960) be kneeling in front of James lbori who is almost 62 (born August 1959).

When James Onanefe lbori served as Governor of Delta State, James Manager was the State PDP Chairman, even if he wants to become next Governor of Delta State in 2023, is it necessary to kneel down like a “School Boy” in front of the Headmaster which this picture indicate?”
