The shocking picture of Senator James Manager kneeling before James Ibori has left tongues-wagging.


In what may appear to be a damage control strategy, an associate of Senator representing Delta South, James Manager has provided an explanation why the lawmaker may have knelt before a former Governor, James Ibori…



The shocking picture has since gone viral.

The source familiar with the matter told The PUNCH on Friday that it was just a sign of respect in Urhobo culture.

He confirmed the picture was taken on Wednesday when Manager paid Ibori a courtesy visit.



Providing the details, he said: ā€œSenator went to visit him on Wednesday.

ā€œIbori is a senior, a king and an elder to him, being his former boss.

ā€œWhenever you go to pay homage to an Urhobo elder or someone you hold in high esteem, you kneel down.

ā€œIt is a sign of appreciation for people to show who the person is to you.

ā€œThings are just being twisted on social media.

ā€œIt is a personal relationship.

ā€œYou donā€™t expect the senator to stand up to address Ibori.

ā€œSenator came to pay homage to him because he had not seen Ibori in a long time and he took drinks.

ā€œThose are the drinks you see on the table in the picture.ā€
