A group under the umbrella of Ijaw National Congress, INC, has restated its commitment to the ambition of Ijaw to produce the next governor of Delta State.
The spokesperson for INC, Ezonebi Oyakemeagbegha who said this in an interview with newsmen in Warri, Delta State, posited that Ijaw did not shelve their pursuit of the governorship seat at any time as speculated in some quarters.
He described the speculation that Ijaw agreed to wait till 2031 to produce the next governor of Delta State as laughable, unimaginable, unthinkable, untrue, evil and mere political gimmicks.
Oyakemeagbegha stressed that Ijaw people have never shelved their governorship ambition and will never, adding that the people never had conversation and will never consider such conversation at any time.
He cautioned some Ijaw sons and daughters to refrain from endorsing candidates and making declarations on behalf of the entire Ijaw in the state.
The group leader stated that if there should be any declaration for the Ijaw, it should be the INC that should do so, as the apex socio-cultural group of the Ijaw nation.
Advising that individuals were free to exercise their right to freedom of association by supporting their choice candidates, they should do so on their own and avoid such romances in the name of the Ijaw nation.
He thanked Governor Ifeanyi Okowa for allowing a fair playground, describing him as a true democrat.
