The politician returned to the country around 4:30am on Saturday and was picked up by agents of the Department of State Services (DSS).
He left the DSS headquarters in Abuja after holding a meeting with Lawal Daura, director-general of the service.
A mammoth crowd had converged on the Osubi Airport, near Warri to receive him, but some of them left when words went around that he was at the DSS headquarters.

A source at the Benin airport said Ibori arrived at the place in a chartered flight, and immediately embarked on the journey to Delta. But before his arrival most of his supporters, including top politicians, relocated to Oghara.
“Security was very tight. In fact, his arrival took everyone unawares. Nobody could move close to him, as he was surrounded by his security aides,”.
People lined up both sides of the road, singing and dancing. Different groups had their own style of celebration.
The atmosphere became charged when Ibori’s convoy entered the town. Youth had surrounded his private residence, and taken over every available space within.
It took a while for security operatives to be able to make way for him to alight from his car. Before moving in, Ibori acknowledged cheers from the crowd.
The tumultuous crowd indicates charismatic leadership. A Charismatic leader is one who inspire their followers, this is done by conjuring up enthusiasm in others for a stated vision or goal.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
