Do you remember David Edevbie? We know where James Ibori and his wife and the woman everyone calls “his mistress” are, even the shyster who did the enabling paperwork. But one person whose name was frequently mentioned in the Ibori saga has not been seen anywhere lately. What is the EFCC doing about it? Where is David Edevbie ? The last time we heard of or from him, he had just returned from the Saudi hospital where former President Umaru Yar’Adua was holed up, reportedly fast recuperating from the condition that finally claimed his life. Edevbie had journeyed there in his capacity as Yar’Adua’s principal private secretary, armed with a copy of the 2010 Appropriations approved by the National Assembly for his stricken boss to sign into law. It was already an open secret then that Yar’Adua had already lost all cognition, but Edevbie returned with the document duly “signed,” thus enabling the organs of government to continue their accustomed gorging. Edevbie had been “seconded” to Aso Rock by Ibori, whom he had served meritoriously as finance commissioner. I will not be surprised if his remit was to monitor closely everything going on in the Villa, especially the President’s correspondence, and report anything that might be of interest, however tangentially, to the prisoner formerly known as the Odidigborigbo of Africa. Apropos of the Ibori saga, it is also necessary to ask: Where are those he suborned in and outside the news media to demonise Nuhu Ribadu, whom he saw as the last person standing between him and his getting away with his loot?
