2019 Rivers Poll: “we Do Not Support Or Celebrate Violence” - IYC by sophsia62: 9:35am On Mar 14, 2019 |
The Ijaw Youth Council ( IYC) Worldwide said it has closely watched the activities surrounding the 2019 Rivers State Gubernatorial and House of Assembly Elections, adding that the reports coming from their members, scattered around the state, only proves that the Ijaw nation is under attack. The group in a statement signed Eric Omare, President, IYC observed that elections held in other parts of the country, and those elections were relatively peaceful, with pockets of violence in a few locations. The statement reads: Scores of Ijaw sons and daughters have been harassed and intimidated by the activities and presence of the Nigerian Army in Rivers State. More particularly is the attack on His Royal Majesty, Tom Ateke and The former President of the IYC, Alhaji Asari Dokubo. We condemn these attacks in the strongest terms. Thugs are being armed to cause mayhem in core Ijaw communities, while other locations in the State; enjoy the comfort of a peaceful environment. These and many more atrocities are plaguing the Ijaws in Rivers State. We will not tolerate it! “We have also monitored the collation of results across all the 23 LGAs in Rivers State. From our records, an Ijaw son was leading in the gubernatorial race, before INEC suspended the exercise. Though we cannot predict the outcome of the elections, we want to make known our suspicion of sabotage. It is funny that leading to this date; every gubernatorial candidate from Ijaw extraction that gains momentum, and stands a chance of victory at the Polls, was mysteriously knocked out of the race. The issues of Tonye Cole from the APC and Dumo Lulu Briggs from the Accord Party are still moving front and back in court, while election day has come and gone. Now Engr Awara Biokpomabo of the AAC; an Ijaw son was leading and suddenly INEC suspends the exercise for security concerns. “Though we do not support or celebrate violence, previous elections that have produced winners in Rivers State were not in any way better; including the 2015 elections which the supreme court described as "A Theatre of War",which produced His Excellency Barr Nyesom Wike as governor without any interference. We demand equity for all. We call on INEC to immediately commence with the state collation exercise or we be will left with no other option than to act like a Nation Under Attack. We also demand immediate stop to the attacks on Ijaw people and communities in Rivers State. “ https://www.akelicious.net/2019/03/2019-rivers-poll-we-do-not-support-or.html?m=1
