It's not a news joor. An average Itsekiri person has this eternal hatred for anything Ijaw and not just Jonathan alone. This does vnot mean mean GEJ will not still get some faithful voters among them. We shall overcome. God bless President GEJ.

I have ijaw friends that we eat , and do business together so stop generalising what you are doing now is prejudice stop pre judging people Itsekiri don't hate anyone and from what I know I still have friends with parents from both sides so what are you talking about this is how people use the youth for political gains please change your mind settings.

Itsekiri mi dede, mo ki han o!

I have so many Ijaws and Itsekiris parents, elders, friends and children alike too. A good number of them have these inbuilt prejudice towards each other. The reason I use an average is due to the marginal numbers of both with free mind. The EPZ saga later worsen the whole thing. All we pray for is peace to reign. For your info many PDP top party members who once supported Jonathan are saying the opposite thing today due to that EPZ issue. I know what I am saying. Let peace reign. God bless.

jars9:
Stop it, you still doing the same thing again, how does EPZ concern me and you except your brother or sister is a direct beneficiary and even if we you know anything that involves money is always delicate but apart from LGAS AND EPZ issue there's no problem, so it means it's the politicians and thugs that fight to benefit themselves and futher divid the masses same thing going on in nigeria shine your eyes and drop tribalism.

Itsekiri people in Delta State have said they will vote massively for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, Muhammadu Buhari, and all the party’s candidates in next month’s general elections.

They also expressed unhappiness over their alleged maltreatment by President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, noting that not even his recent visit to the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse II, would deter them.

Their position was made known when Itsekiri Legacy Rebirth, ILR, a socio-political pressure group, paid the Warri monarch a visit.

The group said President Jonathan had failed to keep his promises, not just to Itsekiri people but also to millions of Nigerians he disappointed when he yet again aborted plans to do the ground-breaking ceremony of Ogidigben Export Processing Zone, EPZ, last November, thereby playing politics with the project.

The ILR Chairman, Dr Alex Ideh, on the occasion presented some of its members contesting political offices in the general elections on the platform of APC to the monarch and top Itsekiri chiefs.

Ideh noted: “Our position had always been very clear; Itsekiri will do APC this time around, very certainly. So, if you see many of our members for APC, it’s (not) coincidence.

“I don’t see this president as someone who has capacity; I think Buhari will do a better job. I have said this time without number and it’s my place to guide my people aright.”

Further explaining the shift in Itsekiri people’s position, Ideh said: “The several postponement of the EPZ ground breaking ceremony is one of the reasons we say the president does not keep his words. This is a president who promised in the presence of millions of Nigerians that he is coming to do the ground breaking. He broke his promise, not only to Itsekiri, but to the people of Delta State and the entire country, which people would have benefitted from that project. Slowing it down was not the best and there was no reason for him to have done that.

itsekiri people are so selfish. they have been ruling delta state for many years now, now Okowa from Delta north got the ticket and decided to support APC. an end has come to marginalization in Nigeria.

wirinet:


Itsekiris are very pragmatic not selfish. What did the Itsekiris gain by an Itsekiri man ruling delta for many years? The Itsekiris gain far more under Ibori, an Urhobo man. So the Itsekiris (just one organization) are supporting APC because an Okowa man got the ticket of PDP? I was not aware that APC presented an Itsekiri man as governorship candidiate.

What did the Itsekiris gain from President Jonathan during his nearly 6 years reign. Please name how many federal projects in Itsekiri land or how many federal appointments the Itsekiri's got.
