Abagworo:
A meeting of political leaders from the riverine part of
Rivers State have resolved to take their destiny in their
hands and shun the candidature of Barrister Nyesom Wike
in the forthcoming Governorship re-run election in the state.

Rising from a crucial meeting in Port-Harcourt on Sunday,
October 26 the leaders described their relationship with
Wike as suspect as the Ikwerre born politician has shown
that he cannot be trusted to keep his part of any bargain
following what the source described as the experience of
deceit and ethnocentrism since May 29 2015.

The meeting which was held in the G.R.A Phase 2 residence
of a prominent third republic politician said the riverine
people are united in their resolve to chart a new political
path by aligning with the APC in the state where they
believe the Ijaw nation can discover their full potentials.
“We have made our mistakes on April 11, 2015. We have
not only discovered ourselves but want to recover
ourselves. At least there is no Jonathan or Patience
sentiment and lies to tell anymore. We thank God we have a
second chance to re strategize”

Dr Preye Omubo , who spoke on behalf of the people said,
“We have set up five committees to drive the new process
of recovering our people. The report is expected in 14 days
when our Leaders will reconvene. Never shall we allow any
person to use us and dump us. This is our opportunity to
work together with like- minds to achieve our lost glory. we
cannot afford to be in opposition with the APC government
at the centre. This is the turn of the riverine people in
Rivers State’’. Dr Omubo emphasized.

Source? And how did you get the details of a "secret meeting"?

HopeAtHand:
Abagworo stop this ur nonesense..go to Imo state and start your justice there.You are not from Rivers state..Do not cause unnecessary confusion in my state.

Maybe i remind you, Ikwerre areas have what it takes to perpetuate ourselves..just dat some of us don't like Wike.

Are you saying it is right for upland to hold on to power? Most Rivers people including Ikwerre and riverine know that it is only right the Governorship moves to Riverine or if it stays upland should be Ogoni area. If we have to go against the gentleman agreement then the Ikwerre or Igbo speaking guy has to be exceptionally good.

Not Ijaw leader but few APC members from the riverine side............ , No impact at all

@Abagworo, you aren't new here. An important part, perhaps most important part, of your story is missing. You know what to do.

Mister dont bring divisions into Rivers state..We are not complaining..Imo state should be your worry..In your state, other Imolites ganged up against Mbaise people as they refused to vote Ihedioha saying they prefer to allow APC instead of Mbaise..concern yourself with creating Unity in Imo and not to create disunity in Rivers..Tnx

asha80:
is dakuku ijaw?

yes forget that thing people are saying that he said that they're igbo! na lie ooh, it was his igbo assistant that was present at a an igbo gathering in rivers state and he made the statement to entice his audience. there is this guy Andrew ebimone he is on facebook. visit the facebook page by diepiri macpepple jaja. they don't hide their love for dakuku! and hatred on wike. though some are still bitter that he betrayed GEJ, so for that they won't vote him! but if they have changed their mind at dying minute, it might not be out of place! But know that they are unstable!!!

You are wrong about Ihedioha's case. He was the one that made it Mbaise vs others. No right thinking Imolite will support an Orlu man to succeed Okorocha. Orlu will have ruled Imo 16 years out of 20 by 2019. In the case of Rivers, the upland Igbo speakers want to rule 20 out of 20. You should not support it.

I said it, these Ijaws are worse than the Yoruba in treachery.

From Timi Alaibe to Clark to all Ijaws.
Now they can even eat one their own alive!

Getting my scissors to cut off any link with those guys.
Traitors.

And what is treacherous about supporting a Riverine candidate in an election?... The Igbo group has ruled Rivers state for 4 tenures and now wants to continue ruling for the next 5th and 6th tenures, that is a total of 24years since 1999. But now it seems like the Riverine group has just woken up from their decade long slumber and you dare to call this treachery?

Anyway, I blame the Ijaws of Rivers state who think they are doing mama Peace a favour

chuna1985:
Ijaw tribe are minorities in Rivers State.

You don't know Rivers State for saying Ijaw is minority there.
@topic: Even though I want Rivers State to have a non-up land governor, the governor shouldn't come from the Ijaw extraction: Ogoni and Opobo have not had a governor. Melford Okilo (1979-1983) and Rufus Ada-George (1992-1993) were Ijaw.

I wont stop laughin cause I knw dz case will end in supreme court. As for the Dumpers who r meetin on how to mk Chief Wike d dumpee. dey shud continue! if dy like let dem meet for fourty days and nyt, dey cant tk away Wike's Mandate.

As for their DAKUKU, he's on a long thing cause He'll soon be thrown away by a strong IKUKU.

Saying someone should vote for you primarily because youre from Ijaw and its your turn to rule sounds petty and quite sinister to me..Come to the electorates with your developmental programmes for your state and sell it to them using your past records of achievements as a pointer to that effect.

Dont unnecessarily arouse the tribalism in Riverians.Riverians and tribalism go hand in hand.

In Rivers state, the people who call themselves Ijaw are a minority..You think having 8 or 9 LGAS makes you big..Maybe you've never travelled to their LGAs.What you're counting are practically wetlands..almost 70% of all Riverines live in PH and Obalga..how many them dey na..

I want Wike to lose because i believe Dakuku will steal less than Wike..i also want Wike to lose so Amaechi can finally "hold ground" in National APC..and i also Wike to lose so that i wouldn't meet any obstacle when i contest as governor..i don't want people shouting "Ikwerre again"?

Igbos are the majority in rivers state. Has an ijaw person ruled rivers since 1999

:DI laugh at the ikwerres.
So even after denying their igbo roots for political appointments in rivers,they are still considered "the igbo group"
well,nobody takes a confused man seriously.
serves them right.

FreeGlobe:
exactly what I wanted to say. These people are the true definition of any government in power. They are the same people polluting the minds of indigenous igbos in SS

The indigenous Igbos there gave them the room to talk.
Bayelsa State was created out of the old Rivers State for the Ijaw.

Anyone remaining in Rivers State is either Igbo, Ogoni or mixed Ijaw/Igbo like Kalabari and Okrika.

The tiny pure Ijaw that are remaining are very numerically insignificant.
Rivers State is for the Igbo and Ogonis.

PDP candidate is Igbo.
APC candidate is Igbo.

So what are you saying?

No doubt, the whole tribal 'it is our turn to rule' mentality is very messed up. However, my comment was only in response to someone terming the Ijaws as treacherous because they decided to switch support to someone else. The motive behind my comment was also fuelled by a previous statement about how Amaechi was a treacherous betrayer for supporting a Riverine man as governor instead of his Ikwerre brother.

So what are you saying?

Upland vs Riverine.

Not that it should matter where a person comes from, competence should be given priority, but I see no reason you have termed the Ijaws as treacherous in your first statement.

You said the Igbo group had ruled for many years but the Ijaw are turning around in a treacherous way to dump an Igbo for another Igbo.

The treachery comes from their effort to throw the PDP under the bus after benefitting so much from it just because they are not the President's party.

Yes..


Personal interest is the reason Saraki didnt concede to demands of PDP senators.

APC propaganda....

Ijaws are Solidly Behind Nyesome Wike and PDP

Nothing like "mixed and pure Ijaw". Ijaw is Ijaw whether Okrika or Bonny or Kaiama or Arogbo. U can fantasize anyway. It's allowed.

You can't dispute the fact that they are mixed with the Igbo especially Kalabari.
Asari Dokubo can enlighten you better.
Also every pure Ijaw is now in Bayelsa and that's the state the Ijaw should be concerned with, really, not Rivers State.

Benefiting what exactly?... I really detest this kind of stance. So because I receive a pittance from someone in the past, then I should now enslave myself to the person for the rest of my life?... What if there is more to benefit from the next person?... Besides, the so called benefit you allege that I received from this person, was it not the person's job to give me those benefits?... Why should these people now be termed treacherous for daring to try something else?

Now you claim they are throwing PDP under a bus, what is the difference between PDP and APC?... The candidates from both parties are both Rivers state indigenes and thank God you acknowledged they are even both Igbos. So tell me why Rivers people should not be allowed to freely choose their governor between 2 Rivers men?.... Even the so called politicians in these parties jump regularly from one to the other yet you want to blackmail the people into being slaves of a mere name 'PDP' and when they refuse you call them treacherous?

igbos confused set of self mastubater. Just 5 hours ago you guys almost brought down nairaland using all kinds of lies, propaganda, and fabricated documents to back your expantionist claim that dakuku is igbo. Now you uncomtempted igbos are the same people saying that the ijaws in rivers state have resolve to support the fellow ijaw brother(being dakuku) please people of Nigeria how can a single tribe(IGBO) bear the CONFUSION MEANT FOR 20 TRIBES. You guys twist fact to suit your expansionist intentions.

They just voted for the PDP not long ago so what has changed?
Look, they should follow the path of honour. A true Igbo man would go with the PDP for good or for bad. That's honour!

If Wike has misruled, then dumping him would be understandable but nothing has changed really from the last election except the perception that the APC could win and that's the reason they are jumping ship.

Treachery, my friend, treachery.

If the Ijaw, as you've said, have 8-9 LGAs, what makes you think they're minority when the state has 23 LGAs?
