The daughter of People's Democratic Party Chieftain, James Ibori who is currently a lawmaker in Delta State was publicly embarrassed over a display of lack of confidence.
Erhiatake Ibori, who represents Ethiope West constituency in the Delta State House of Assembly, was today booed off the stage during a valedictory/tribute session for the late Olorogun Felix Ovuodoroye Ibru, the first civilian governor of Delta State, according to Sahara Reporters.
Erhiatake, 36, is the daughter of the jailed former Governor of Delta State, James Ibori. The PDP legislator’s surprising lack of coherence first attracted murmurs from the crowd present for the event at Government House.
She had been asked to pay a tribute on behalf of her father but exhibited considerable difficulty trying to pronounce even words that were boldly written on the burial brochure.
Appearing and sounding visibly frightened, she repeated lines that had already been read, and then was floored when she tackled the words “magnanimous”and “meritoriously.”
The murmurs grew into boos.
Embarking on a rescue mission, her father’s successor as governor and her cousin, Mr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, who rose to pay his own tribute, provided some comic relief.
The former medical doctor diagnosed the situation as one where Erhiatake’s glasses were probably not very good. The crowd erupted in another round of uncontrollable laughter.

Next time take speech classes before presenting speech in public. Because it helps extremely nervous people overcome stage fright and also enable the individual to gain confident and be in control of the speech presentation.
compromise is an inherent part of a relationship

Some people are like that. They are afraid of public speaking. They cannot face crowd. She should get some book on Effective Public Speaking to help kill her fear in Public speaking.
