As the 2023 elections draws nearer, socio Political groups has continue to drum support for their choice candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group operating under the aegis of Ijaw Mandate Group ably led by its National Coordinator Hon. Dagidi Andaye has called on the Ijaws to jettison their Governorship ambition till 2031, and that they should allow their Urhobos counterparts to rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a swift reaction, renowned Youth advocate, social crusader, and Niger Delta activist, Comr Keneware Emmanuel popularly known as the \u201cThe Pentiger\u201d has come out hard on the group, describing them as enemies of Ijaw Nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He states that the Ijaws going by equity and fairness should be allowed to occupy the Osadebe house come 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He averred that if the Urhobos have respect for zoning, they wouldn\u2019t have contested in 2007, that usher in Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan and 2015, that usher in Sen Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comr Emmanuel maintained that why everyone has the interest to support who he\/she likes in politics, it is uncultural, naive and senseless for a group to tell the Ijaws to wait till 2031 because of their selfish interest.
He labelled the group as a sycophantic group aimed at rubbishing the Ijaw Agenda as a result of their Urhobo pay masters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking further, he declare that the Ijaw Governorship Agenda is non negotiable and it is a reality.
Ijaws should also be given the fair chance to occupy the Osadebe house come 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recalled that the Ijaw Mandate Group in a press statement yesterday lambast the Ijaw Governorship Agenda saying they should wait till 2031.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
