Uneasy calm, Monday, pervaded Ijawland
following the death of Senator Tari Sekibo,
President of the the pan-Ijaw socio-cultural
organization, the Ijaw National Congress (INC). Though the cause of the death of the President of
the INC, aged 70, could not be immediately
ascertained, it was learnt that he slumped and died
Monday morning, ostensibly from heart related
ailment. Senator Tari Sekibo was reportedly rushed to the
Federal Medical Centre where he was pronounced
dead on arrival. Vanguard learnt that the late Sekibo, an Okirika
high chief from Rivers State was in Yenagoa ahead
of the planned executive council meeting of the INC
slated to hold at Ijaw House. The meeting, it was learnt was to deliberate and
take a position on the crisis rocking the Ijaw Youth
Council (IYC) worldwide which recent national
convention is now a subject of litigation. “We were to meet in Yenagoa and move to Port
Harcourt on Tuesday (today) to meet with
aggrieved IYC presidential aspirants and inform
them of our decisions. It is unfortunate that all the
plan would be set aside,” a member of the INC NEC
told Vanguard. When Vanguard visited the morgue of the FMC, it
was learnt that the corpse was deposited at about
12.30pm. According to a staff at the centre who pleaded
anonymity, the corpse was brought in a Bayelsa
government ambulance. Contacted on the development, the Publicity
Secretary of the INC, Pastor Victor Burubo,
confirmed the death of the President, Senator Tari
Sekibo. “We have just heard the news that we have lost our
President. We don’t have enough details but he
died in Yenagoa. We are arranging to move to
Yenagoa and get enough details on the sad
incident. ”www.vanguardngr.com/2013/11/inc-president-slumps-dies/
