Meanwhile, community clashes like this is usually rampant in the South-South region, besides there has been brewing tension between the Itsekiri people of Ugborodo and Ijaw of Gbaramatu following the commissioning of the $16 billion gas city project. The just concluded general elections in the area are also believed to be a propelling factor to the development. The Ijaw nation in Rivers state has blamed the state governor, Rotimi Amaechi, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) for President Goodluck Jonathan’s failure in the presidential election, which it said worked against the interests of the Niger Delta. |
