“We demand all oil companies, organizations operating in Ijaw territories in Edo State to stop dealing with the Oba of Benin and Edo State Government with immediate effect. Failure to do that will lead to total disaster.

“We repeat, we are giving Edo State Government 21 days to correct all abnormalities or else we will mobilize all our members from the aforementioned states to storm the Edo State Government House and the Oba of Benin palace to make the state unbearable for you to govern.

“We call on President Buhari to call on Obaseki and the Oba to order before the expiration of the 21 days.

“Enough is enough. We are watching”, they said.

limeta:
We just wait 21 days and see what these ijaws are all about
Though I know too well how cheap talk is
Yo ijaws what date do I start counting from.

Lajet:
