This is not a season for experiments, sentiments, or sectional calculations. It is a moment that demands tested leadership, deep institutional knowledge, and unwavering commitment to the Ijaw cause. In this context, one name stands tall and unambiguous  Chief James Nengi. Chief James Nengi is currently the Second Vice President (Vice President II) of the Ijaw National Congress, a position that places him at the heart of INC’s decision-making architecture.

The Seimbiri Clan remains one of the most ancient, revered, and structured traditional institutions in Western Ijaw history. Its kingship process is guided ...
