“It is a privilege given to every former PDP governor.‎ Ibori is a former governor, and he has not left PDP. So there in nothing unusual in his name being included in the list.

“He was invited to the last NEC (National Executive Committee) meeting but he did not attend,” Eluemunor added.

He, however, said he was not in a position to say if the former governor will be at Eagle Square for Friday’s convention.

Ibori has not attended any public political meeting since he returned to the country last year after he was released from prison.
