Smart Yomi Asekutu By Victor Lewis When after nearly 30 years of its creation, the mantle of the chairmanship of Warri North Local Government Council Area fell on the Ijaws for the first time, the emergence of Hon.

Suffice to mention that the eventual emergence of Hon. Asekutu marked the climax of joy and expectations for the Ijaws of Egbema kingdom. The Itsekiris who had dominated the chairmanship seat of the Local Government Cou
