Reads full Press Statement

Reverse the Unconstitutional Suspension of Governor Fubara, Deputy Governor, and House of Assembly Members

The Ijaw Community Abuja/Northern Nigeria expresses its strong condemnation of the unconstitutional suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, the Deputy Governor, and the members of the Rivers State House of Assembly by the Federal Government.

We call on His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to immediately reverse this undemocratic decision, which undermines the mandate freely given by the people of Rivers State.

Under Governor Fubara’s leadership, Rivers State has witnessed remarkable progress, including:

A significant increase in internally generated revenue from ₦12 billion under the previous administration to over ₦25 billion.

Sustained peace and security fostering economic growth and stability.

Implementation of long-overdue civil service promotions, enhancing workforce morale.

These achievements underscore the administration's commitment to development and good governance. The suspension is not only a disservice to the people of Rivers State but also poses a grave threat to Nigeria’s democracy.

We urge all well-meaning Nigerians and global democratic institutions to stand against this injustice, as it sets a dangerous precedent that could jeopardize the sovereignty of other states in the federation.

A Call for Calm and Strategic Advocacy

To our esteemed Ijaw sons and daughters, we appeal for calm and steadfastness during this challenging time. While this action deeply hurts our democratic ideals, we must resist any provocation and pursue justice through lawful and peaceful means.

The Ijaw struggle has always been one of resilience, wisdom, and integrity. Let us channel these values into constructive engagement with all stakeholders at local, national, and international levels.

We reaffirm our unwavering commitment to defending the rights, dignity, and aspirations of the Ijaw people. United, we will overcome this injustice and continue to strive for a better Nigeria.

Long Live the Ijaw Nation!
Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!

Signed,
Prince Somiari Ogolo
Chairman, Ijaw Community, Northern Nigeria

Edo Kingship Tussle: Niger Delta Youth Leader Condemns Oba of Benin’s Attempts to Control Other Ethnic Groups, Iganke,

By
By Egbemavoice, The Niger Delta Youth Leader has strongly condemned the actions of the Oba of Benin, calling them unethical, untraditional, and unconstitutional. The Oba’s alleged attempt to assert authority over other ethnic nationalities in Edo State, particularly the Ika people of Iganke Ndi Eze, is viewed as an abominable act, not only in the Niger Delta but in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. Recently, the Oba of Benin reportedly ordered the people of Iganke Ndi Eze to submit to the authority of an Odiower under his leadership. However, the Ika people have no historical or cultural ties to the Bini tribe, aside from being part of the same state, Edo. This act is seen as an overreach of traditional authority and a violation of Nigeria’s constitutional provisions. In Nigeria, traditional rulers serve as custodians of their ethnic group’s culture and norms, but they do not hold constitutional powers. The country operates under a presidential system of government...
