The leadership of the Ijaw nation yesterday rose from a meeting held in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, declaring that unless Jonathan was allowed a second term in office as, there will no longer be a “One Nigeria.”
Besides, the people also warned that any further attack on the President by hoodlums would be effectively retaliated.

This position was made known at a meeting facilitated by the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Kingsley Kuku in Yenagoa which had in attendance the state’s governor, Seriake Dickson, his deputy, Rear Admiral John Jonah and top government officials.

The former Ijaw warlords at the meeting included Chief Government Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo; Alhaji Asari Dokubo; General Boyloaf and Gen. Young-Shall-Grow.
In their speeches, they made it clear that since the oil produced on their land was the unifying factor that brings the nation together, they were ready to stop the oil from continuing to flow if the President is not allowed a second tenure.

Asari particularly charged the youth to be battle ready, “if need be, as nobody can frighten or intimidate us anymore.”
“There is power in Ijaw nation. We are going to war; everyone of us should go and purify himself,” he declared.

Also speaking, Boyloaf said: “There is one Nigeria only because our oil brings us together. Today, they are intimidating one of our own. I, Gen. Boyloaf, I am ready for them. We own the resources, yet they say we do not have the right to rule. Then, we must collect our oil back. If they say they want to take the power from us, then we will take our oil back. We are ready to match them bumper for bumper.”

Boyloaf insisted: “Gone are the days when you intimidate people with guns. We are ready. The Nigerian Army cannot police the pipelines from end to end.”

Summoning up the decisions of the leadership, Kuku made it clear that the Ijaw nation would no longer tolerate the continued attack on the President in the north, especially after the Ijaw people and nation had extend a hand of friendship to their son when his campaign train came to Bayelsa.

“We will not take lightly again what has been happening to the President in the North. We will no longer accept it anymore. For this country to remain united, they should treat our own as we have treated theirs,” he warned.

Speaking later, Dickson said he would take the message of the people to appropriate quarters, adding that he has a fair understanding of all the issues involved.

They are not speaking for the Ijaw nation, they are speaking for the PDP members in Jonathan's good book. I can assure you that the Ijaws are not foolish people. They said Buhari will be rejected in Ijawland, he came to Bayelsa and we all saw the reception he got. Same in Rivers State. These same group of people said Amaechi cannot to to Okrika, that he will be stoned, we all saw how Amaechi was received by Okrikans. He even danced publicly.

Let me assure you and mark this quote, Jonathan is a goner, the good people of Izon will move on with life and enjoy the benefit of President Buhari! Call me a coward if it turns out that Ijaws resist Buharoi....

They are ready for war. We all can remember that Tompolo acquired 2 warships recently. Jonathan is trying to divide Nigeria.

If GEJ wins (which is not realistic) he can continue, if Buhari wins, he should go back to Otuoke. This is democracy. They should stop ranting.

And I think your weed has too much Alomo Bitters and Orijin for you to have said this. Instead of blaming and cautioning those who first beat the wardrums up north, you're here hallucinating. Let me tell you the bitter truth: the Ijaw are ready for Buhari and his minions like you. The future shall tell. Bet me. The day Buhari is declared a winner, which is quite impossible, Nigeria may not cease to exist, but the creeks will boil again. And to those who think it would only affect Ijawland, I think your uneducated and myopic brains would understand what is stake once the operation commences. I don't support violence but neither do I support injustice.
