The ongoing political crisis in Rivers State has been described as a direct attack on the Ijaw nation, prompting a strong reaction from Ijaw leaders across Delta and Edo states. Representatives from Egbama, Gbaramatu, Isaba, and Ogbe-Ijoh have united to denounce what they see as a systematic effort to silence their people.

In a statement, the leaders recalled past injustices, including the removal of former President Goodluck Jonathan, which they believe marked the beginning of a deliberate attempt to diminish the influence of the Ijaw people in Nigeria’s political landscape.

Ijaw Resources Exploited, Yet Excluded from Power

“This is bigger than Governor Fubara; this is about the survival and dignity of the Ijaw nation,” the statement read. “For years, we have watched as our resources are exploited while our people are marginalized. Our oil fuels the country, yet we remain excluded from power.”

The representatives also criticized the federal government for failing to appoint an Ijaw person as Minister of Petroleum, calling it an insult to a people whose land produces the nation’s wealth. They vowed to take decisive action to protect their interests, warning that they will not stand by while their people are sidelined.

“We will not allow this continued oppression. The Ijaw nation will resist with every strategy available. If they cripple our state, we will respond accordingly. The Ijaw struggle is not just for today, but for future generations.”

A Call for Ijaw Unity and Action

In a rallying call, the leaders urged all Ijaw communities, both within Nigeria and in the diaspora, to unite in what they described as a battle for survival.

“The time for silence is over. From Bayelsa to Lagos, from Akwa Ibom to Ondo, all Ijaw people must stand together. We will defend our land, our people, and our future.”

The declaration was signed by representatives from various Ijaw clans, signaling a united front against what they perceive as continued marginalization and economic exploitation.

Signed:

Comr. Tamaradenyeifa Iroroyekenigha (Ogbe-Ijoh Representative)

Mr. Emizibo Seiyefa (Egbama Representative)

Comr. Ayibatari Tarila (Isaba Representative)

Comr. Binatari Ekpokememi (Gbaramatu Representative)

Sir Fetiemo Ebiwari (Bomadi Representative)

Mr. Kemepade Adibobouegbe (Burutu Representative)

Comr. Faafa Peibolu (Patani Representative)

The Ijaw leaders made it clear: they will no longer accept being treated as second-class citizens in their own land.
