General Silas Issues Urgent Open Appeal to Delta State Governor, Calls for Immediate Dialogue to Avert Tension Over Ward Delineation Exercise

By
By Amb. Gen. Silas Tamarau-Emi Toruwei, JP.LL (A Stakeholder in Ijawland) Your Excellency, I write as a concerned son of the Niger Delta and a stakeholder in Ijawland to passionately appeal to you to urgently intervene in the ongoing ward delineation exercise which is gradually generating tension and has the potential to ignite avoidable conflict between the Ijaw and Itsekiri ethnic nationalities in Delta State.

Coming at a time when tensions remain high, the remarks have generated widespread apprehension among Ijaw communities who interpret them as an implied threat of violence. The IYC Western Zone therefore calls on...

By
By EgbemaVoice, Delta State-born development advocate and environmental rights activist, Comrade Mulade Sheriff PhD has called on the executive governor of Delta State Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori to deliberately consider riverine host communities in his administration's infrastructural development plan across the state. It is imperative to state that the riverine areas predominantly occupied by the Ijaw and Itsekiri ethnic nationalities in Delta are not only deprived of meaningful development but neglected in terms of mega people-oriented projects that will open up the coastal communities for economic growth and development.
