Itsekiri Leaders Seek President Jonathan Resignation by bappahman: 9:41pm On Nov 16, 2014
Itsekiri leaders today demanded the
resignation of President Goodluck Jonathan as
well as Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta
State following what the leaders described as
the inability of the duo to curtail “rampaging ex-
militants” who seized the Delta waterways and
prevented the much-awaited groundbreaking of
the $16billion Export Processing Zone Project.
The leaders of the tribe said if President
Jonathan couldn’t curtail the ex-militants whom
they claimed the President had spent billions of
tax payers’ money in rehabilitating, then he is
not fit to rule Nigeria because, according to the
sources, he is easily frightened by a “threat from
Tompolo.”
“It is the responsibility of every sitting President
and Governor to ensure that they are not cowed
by threats; otherwise all manner of groups will
rise up every now and then and keep on
threatening them. Therefore, if a President
keeps on succumbing to threats by his own
people and he cannot curtail them, then he has
goofed up and should resign as it is done
elsewhere in the world,” Itsekiri Leaders of
Thought, a formidable group of national and
Diaspora groups of Itsekiri leaders said in a
statement.
Governor Uduaghan is from the Itsekiri tribe,
while President Jonathan is an Ijaw from Bayelsa
State, the only 100% Ijaw State in Nigeria.
Specifically, the leaders said that Ijaw ex-
militants have demystified Governor Uduaghan
who, according to them, had boasted in the
media that no one can stop the President’s
scheduled flag-off of the multibillion dollar
project.
The leaders said that they are surprised over the
failure of President Jonathan to commission the
groundbreaking due to the threat from Ijaw
militants mostly of Gbaramatu Kingdom.
Rising from its emergency meeting, the group
headed by Pa. JOS Ayomike, a historian, said it is
unfortunate that Jonathan didn’t heed their
warning to ignore “baseless” threats of war,
rather, he “pitched his tent with his Ijaw
warlords and did the wrong thing.”
In a statement the Itsekiri leaders said the
Itsekiri people, Nigerians and indeed the world
now know that President Jonathan is pursuing
an Ijaw agenda.
“This agenda is to exterminate the Itsekiris in
their God-given land but we will resist it and we
will never be intimidated by threats of war and
genocide against our people .
“We have repeatedly called on our Ijaw brothers,
including President Goodluck Jonathan, to build
bridges across ethnic divides not only in the
Niger Delta but in Nigeria. But alas! President
Jonathan has by this action joined the Ijaw
militants in building fences among the ethnic
nationalities in the Niger Delta and Nigeria. And
time will tell the outcome,” the statement said.
The Itsekiri leaders therefore said that the
Itsekiri nation, with the various treaties they
entered into with the British, would push for
secession if Jonathan and his Ijaw people
continue their “agenda to exterminate us.”
According to Pa Ayomike, “Itsekiri as a nation is
protected by the British crown , and so we will
go to the international court and push for
secession.”
According to the Itsekiri leader, “Jonathan has
been intimidated by the “militants” and he is
dancing to their tones; that’s why the flag-off
was stalled otherwise the Ijaws have no basis for
this agitation .
“The EPZ project which is completely situated in
Ogidigben is in 2.560 hectares entirely within
Ogidigben; so let the Ijaws tell us the name of
their community within this landmass,” Ayomike
said.
“He maintained that “it is a shame that the
militants have demystified Uduaghan, he is
irrelevant and useless to us. Let him resign like
others do around the world when they goofed.
Uduaghan is now a nobody in Delta because
Jonathan no longer listens to him as the chief
security officer of the state, the militants now
have Jonathan’s ear more than Uduaghan.”

And now we have a full blown disaster in our hands: a clanish wimp for a president!!

When Baba said he is clanish and ethnocentric, he was called all manner of unprintable names, now even his own brothers have re-echoed Baba's sentiments while calling him an easily frightened coward at thesame time!!

This man is absolutely unfit for the stool he occupies!! How could a president who commands an entire army be pushed around by gun wielding criminals like this?? God forbid he's not kicked out in 2015. God forbid!

The fear of Gowon was the beginning of Wisdom those day

because Nigeria government ban the video of the Independent day of the country of the Kingdom of Western Nigeria from television for 50 years.

I think bayelsa state government should be asking the Ijaws to return home to show their people they are from bayelsa state.. this is how they can develop bayelsa state. Home is home..

How person go they fight over another person land.. I never see this one before.. Itsekiri own the place. the ijaws are from bayelsa, they are immigrate ... Just like you have ijaws in New York city.

Because Nigeria government have been telling the people lies.. They people dont know the truth anymore... that they are not from Nigeria..

because the northerners lied to everybody on television.
haa wetin come bring Northerns inside

When $hit finally hits the Fan; What usually happens?

I don't think On a normal sense, anybody hates GEJ personality, what people hate is his total disconnect from every day realities facing Nigerians, iMean the real people in the rural areas, TOTal "Wireless" Disconnect(if Yøu will my choice of word)

....This type of Inept Leadership is what causes problems all over the country from nowhere like what's happening between the two Communities "Ilaje Vs Itsekiri" A Govt needs to be Proactive...

Don't just sit in Abuja,and be relying on what those so-called Ministers of yours are saying to you.

Nonetheless, "iDon't know if he(GEJ) really sits down and ask'd himself; what's really going in all the remote L.G.As" ? It is not about sitting in the comfort of Aso Rock from Jan -To- Dec, It is about taking two steps forward, get some people to go round the Cøuntry to see if the Govt is making Impact like what's happening in other developed Countries..

That's what being a "LEADER" is

Demanding the president's resignation by his own people at this time doesnt really make sense. They should let him exhaust his cluelessness to the end. His dreaded militant brothers are waiting to unleash chaos in the creek when he arrives back in Otuoke comes 2015.

The problem is that he want to smuggle another 4 yrs of Clueless Policies. People like King Sarowiwa bled and died to bring attention to environmental challenges of the Niger Delta Region. Jonathan has been President for 6yrs, there is nothing on ground to show as his plans in cleaning up the region and developing them. All Jonathan care about is paying his boys, boko haraming and massive corruption.

GEJ bin swayed by threats from militants has set a very baaadd precedence n shows him up as weak n clannish n unable to build the bridges a multi ethnic entity like d Nigerian state needs.
It's unfortunate he doesn't realise his brand of leadership is planting seeds of division all over d place n now more than ever, peoples loyalties are more along Tribal n Ethnic lines rather than to the Nation n dis trend does not portend good f d country.

Hoping he gets t puberty soon share b4.....

Thank God the journalists are free and out alive.

History is there for us to learn from but sadly we hardly visit the history archive to consult about the past.

It is a well known fact that it is because of things like this that lead to the warri crises in the past.

By now one would expect things like this not to have repeat itself but for where. For the sake of peace and successful take off of the project the governor should have in the first place carried the two tribe along.

The ijaws are claiming that the epz pass through and occupied more of their land than the itsekeris all they want is for that fact to noted and accorded what is due them.

Shake my head to read such a comment coming from an elder who suppose to be suing for peace and peaceful co existence of all tribe in warri like the old days.

Blamed Jonathan na you sabi, curse him, call him name na una sabi. The man did the right thing by staying away. He hasn't finished battling with boko haram and you people want him to open his eyes down and allowed another one abi?

To all the youths in and from delta its time you people put on your thinking cap and sue for peace among yourself. Am sorry to say this " not everything our elders talk we must accept hook line and sinker. Let try and find out truth for ourselves and let truth prevail no matter the cost, at the long run we will all be happy for it.

God bless Nigeria
