ANTI-IJAW SENTIMENTS WILL ESCALATE
CRISIS, IYC WARNS.
June 19 2016
The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide
have in a Press Statement signed and released
today by the Spokesman of the Council, Barr. Eric
Omare warned that anti-Ijaw sentiments in the
ongoing crisis of the Niger Delta region will only
escalate the crisis rather than being a solution.
The statement observed that a new dangerous
dimension of conspiracy orchestrated by some high
ranking politicians with ethnic colourations have
been added to the quest for a better Niger Delta as
the said politicians are bent on frustrating the
current move by the Government to reposition the
Niger Delta with a bid of returning peace to the
region.
Omare argued that the agitation for the violated
and deprived Niger Delta region has being mostly
championed by Ijaws while other ethnic groups and
Nigerians continue to label the Ijaws as criminals
with all sorts of incriminating names but wonders
on how they later came out to cry foul, alleging that
they have been sidelined by Ijaws. He pointed out
clearly that the visit to the Maritime University in
Gbaramatu Kingdom by the Minister for State
Petroleum Resources Dr. Ibe Kachikwu in order to
put things in a proper perspective seems to be
creating discomfort to others who do not wish the
region well.
However, the SPOKESMAN through the press
statement calls on President Muhammadu Buhari to
call those APC chieftains and ethnic chauvinists to
order as their sentimental comments can only
constitute a clog on the wheel of progress in the
ongoing process.
The statement reads in part:
"A new dimension of conspiracy has been noticed
lately, particularly in the wake of the renewed
violence in the Niger Delta region. It has been
observed that some politicians whose desire has
always been to reap from the ongoing breach of oil
facilities are bent on introducing a dangerous ethnic
dimension to this situation. These class of
politicians have unpretentiously displayed anti-Ijaw
sentiments and conspiracy to the extent that the
fragile path to an acceptable roadmap enunciated
by the Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr. Ibe
Kachikwu appears threatened. This is dangerous for
inter-ethnic peace and harmony."
"The ongoing process whereby some officials of the
federal government have painstakingly taken bold
steps, like that by Kachikwu, through a major
landmark visit, has become another source of
discomfort for ethnic chauvinists and crisis
entrepreneurs who see the minister's visit to
Gbaramatu as a misnomer. This is unacceptable."
"We recall that in the days of the pre-amnesty
arrangement, Ijaw youths were called criminals
even as other ethnic groups distanced themselves
from the programme on the ground that they had
no need to embrace any amnesty offer. Same
characters later cried foul that the programme was
cornered by the Ijaws. Same way, at the inception
of the renewed violence orchestrated by the
Avengers, leaders of other ethnic nationalities
pointed accusing fingers at our youths, the Ijaws, as
masterminds. We ask, at what point does
discussing with Ijaw people become an issue? Does
it mean that while the Ijaws can be branded as
criminals for whatever reason, they deserve not to
be heard by government?".
"This ugly development, particularly orchestrated
by some high ranking officers of the federal
government and party chieftains can only impede
progress and those belonging to this category
should be called to order by President Buhari. The
Ijaw ethnic nationality has always condemned
violence as a response to the deliberate under
development of her communities. This is in spite of
the fact that the Ijaws bear the brunt of this
unbridled suffocation, deprivation and brazen
exploitation. We bear the pain more, take the
gauntlet and lead the vanguard against oppression
and in the process lose more to reactionary forces
whose desire has always been to quell the voice of
reason"
"The Ijaw fight for justice, equity, fairness and
development has always been for the deprived
people of the region and not just the Ijaw ethnic
nationality even though we have lost more in terms
of human and material resources in the process.
This is because as people of the Niger Delta, we
have shared challenges and a collective destiny.
We therefore call on other ethnic nationalities in the
Niger Delta not to allow themselves to be used by
politicians to cause ethnic division in the region."

Tell them make them hear. Whatever they sow they will reap. Infact, as Ankio Briggs said 100% resource control or nothing. Then north should be told in very clear terms that the honey moon is over. Parasitism is no more allowed. They cannot continue to reap where they have not sown. Or else to your tenth all ethnic nationalities.

After sabotaging eastern region based on ethnicity you want to have a multi ethnic niger delta? There will continue to be fragmentation along ethnic lines unless you go back to the old regional interest. The North have more minorities than niger delta but regional interest come first
