DELTA 2023 AND THE RACE FOR THE IJAWISM AGENDA
©Comrade Isaac Elagha
As the days are coming nigh and too alarming whereby the PDP zoning system is likely not to favour the ijaws.
Many people had started making preparations to divert Votes to their Favourable Candidate come 2023.
It is an undeniable fact that the Ijaw Ethnic group have been more committed to the development and economic advancement of the state and deserve to be supported by other Ethic Groups to occupy the number one office in the State.
The Ijaw Speaking People has never produced the Governor of this state. So, ideally, they should be the one we should be talking about to produce the next Governor, but because of this gentleman agreement and understanding, we said the Ijaw Nation played very prominent role in midwifing other Ethnic groups and has given 100 per cent support to the emergence of Governor Okowa Ifeanyi as the Executive Governor of the state since 2015 till date.
“But the Big Question for the Ijaws is; who's more Eligible for that seat.
Let's just call an Iroko tree and Iroko tree, without blabbing and making noises Online claiming the Representatives in Delta Ijaw are working is a fallacious story and should be deemed Unnecessary because they're not working.
Almost all the Reps in the Delta Ijaw are sitting down in a cozy Ambiance waiting for their Monthly Allowance and other Stipends.
The race for 2023 as Governorship for Ijawism agenda is too scary as Candidates are not seen ready for the Job.
Days back, I came across a post of one Ijaw Activist urging that all Ijaws should follow the Ijawism Agenda.
I just have to laugh Sha.
To be sincere, many of the ijaws has no interest for that Agenda. So you want us to support a Candidate that we haven't even seen Constituency Project since elected?...Haba! It's Impossible.
People will support Candidates that mean well for the inhabitants of the ijaw and the state at large.
Let me advise the Media Aides fighting for Ijawism agenda and making it as a Compulsory task that people must vote for their leaders.
Listen Carefully!
Representing your people in the Green Chamber or the Red Chamber doesn't give you the right to choose for your constituents, they too have their own rights and the Constitution of the country Permits that.
I hereby urge, all Media Aides and Activists to swing into action by telling their bosses to do something meaningful in their Various Constituencies and Communities and expect the ijaws Agenda to come true if not even many of the denizens of the ijaw nation will not support them as Governor.
You work out your Project, we support you that is what the Agenda should be not by claiming it's our right to produce the next Governor.
