Take Ibori, Omosede Igbinedion bank on fathers’ influence

The political scene is becoming more and more interesting as the general elections year draws nearer and nearer. A trend that is playing out is the influx of silver spoon kids into the murky game of politics. They are now embracing politics, using their fathers’ names as pedestals to actualise their aspirations.

Joining the ranks of children of prominent politicians and businessmen are Omosede Igbinedion and Take Ibori. Omosede, one of the daughters of Sir Gabriel Igbinedion, has joined the race for a seat in the House of Representatives in Edo State. The mother of one is said to be vying for the seat of Ovie Federal Constituency. What is not yet certain is the political platform on which she intends to actualise her dream.

On her part, Take Ibori, the lovely daughter of former Delta State governor, James Onanefe Ibori, who is currently serving a jail term for corruption, is planning to contest for a seat in the Delta State House of Assembly on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Sources close to the corridors of power in Delta State told Celeb Watch that Take stands a very good chance picking the ticket because she enjoys the support of most of the stakeholders on account of her father’s influence in spite of his incarceration.

The duo has no political experience except having fathers who ahd functioned as godfathers at one time or the other in the political affairs of their respective states.
