The Unfaithful First Lady

We did promise that we were going to talk about the First Lady that was having an affair. A few people wrote in asking us give them the story, and because we only tell stories on the Molue and not inside mailboxes we refused! Well the gist is that it is the wife of the Delta state Governor who is involved or should we say involved? James who was recently called very “…smart and dangerously so…” by OBJ is making a second appearance on the Molue.


Ibori has been dogged by a lot of controversies since he assumed the mantle of leadership in Delta State. One rumour that made the rounds early in his regime was that he was involved in the assassination Chief Alfred Rewane the Itsekiri Patriarch. Ibori who is an Itsekiri (maternal side) was close to the late chief and remember we said, in our first story on him, that he ran some dirty errands for the Abachas. Remember also that he was a security consultant to Abacha. How ex London cab driver come become security consultant? Maybe it as a result of his cult days at the University of Benin. In any case he is rumoured to have planned and arranged the Flour Mills stickers that were used by the assassins that shot Rewane. This rumour has been making the rounds for a while now.


Anyway back to our story. The gist is that First Lady Chief Mrs Nkoyo Ibori met this guy in London. The guy was a real rough neck that was into very shady deals. When the relationship started, people assumed that he was just Nkoyo’s bit of rough and it was gong to fizzle out, but for where , the relationship got stronger and stronger. Some people will swear that she got into the relationship because Ibori neglected her where it mattered and that because he had fathered a child by the daughter of his former Commissioner for Women Affairs (Can you imagine the irony?) Whatever the motivation, the relationship got so serious and madam was always running to London at every opportunity for some TLC from her bit of rough.


In no time, the story got to Ibori and like the typical jaguda man that he is, he simply confronted Nkoyo’s bit of rough and threatened to deal with him if he did not back off. Not one to look for trouble and because he had only come out Her Majesty’s Prison (He was jailed for a deal that went bad when he was dating Nkoyo) Nkoyo’s bit of rough heeded Ibori’s warning and ran off. We are still monitoring the situation to see if anything will happen again. But while it lasted, Nkoyo lavished money, presents and a house on the guy!
