"It has come to a time when silence is no longer golden, this we the Egbema Accountability Front, has come to realize. Having watched in the last few weeks the  macabre dance of one  Barrister Napoleon Egin parading himself as Egbema kingdom Agadagba-Elect, with the backing of some disgruntled elements who are out to cause anarchy, division and further plunge our people into another era of confusion. 

"Napoleon Egin and his gang of rabble rousers will not be allow to achieve this sinister plan that is nothing but a CORE detriment to progress, well-being and peace of our kingdom. 

Every society has rules that binds it, just the way ethnic groups have culture and tradition that guide its way and life. 

" Egbema kingdom can't be an exception. For a Pere  to emerge, the gazette which is the authority when it comes to kingship issues, expressly stated how such individuals will come through.

Napoleon Egin does not meet the criterias of the gazette, yet in his and cohorts desperation for aggrandizement, they want to bend the rules and cut corner for selfish reasons.

" Egbema Accountability Front, has critical stakeholders who believe firmly in the ONENESS and progress of our DEAR home land, we say enough is enough of Napoleon and his gang destructive voyage. 

We find his watery, nebulous and caricature publication dated 16/11/2022 in which  various derogatory languages were used to described genuine process thoroughly followed by Regency Council led by Chief Johnbull Adaun that gave birth to Ambassador Meshach Eseyortiegha Ubabirasi, Agadagba - Elect. 

" We find those languages to be very distasteful, disrespectful, belly aching, diversionary and attempt to paint the kingdom as group of lawless people who take pride in violence.     

Let Napoleon and his gang be warned that we will not take further insults and abuse on the elders, chiefs and other illustrious sons of the kingdom because Egbema has taken position and chosen who will lead, which we expect every sons and daughters of the kingdom to support fully", the statement added.

Aladja/Ogbe-ljoh Crisis: No Peace No Campaign in WSW LGA, Group Tell Okowa

...... Says Okowa can't tackle insecurity in Nigeria since he cannot settle Ogbe-ijoh/Aladja communal crisis 

Warri _____ The Independent Grassroot Liberators (IGL), a political oriented pressure group with over one thousand members with permanent voters card (PVC) in Warri South-West LGA has asked the Executive Governor of Delta State, His Excellency, Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa to convince the people of Warri South West Local Government Area in Delta State and Nigeria at large that he can tackle insecurity in Nigeria if given the mattle of leadership as Vice President by settling Ogbe-ljoh and Aladja communual crisis, adding that he will not get their support and votes come 2023 general elections if he fails to end the dispute.

The statement was made on Friday at Ogbe-ljoh Warri Kingdom, the headquarters of Warri South West LGA during a peaceful protest by various youth leaders across riverine communities, warned that Gov. Okowa and the various PDP Candidates should not dare to take their campaign to Ogbe-ljoh Warri Kingdom if the state government cannot end the Aladja/Ogbe-ljoh communal crisis that have claimed so many lives of their loved ones over the years.

Addressing the press shortly after the peaceful protest, the National Coordinator of the group, Hon. Felix Yerinbowei Company noted that, if Governor Okowa, the Executive Governor of Delta State refuse to settle the land dispute between Ogbe-ljoh and Aladja to ensure permanent peace, he should know that there will be no campaign in WSW LGA headquarters Ogbe-ljoh and IGL will never give him and his gubernatorial candidate support and votes come 2023 general elections.

Hon. Felix Yerinbowei Company who is the current Councillor Representing the good people of Ijansa/Ijelejele Ward 13 in Warri South West LGA and the National Co-ordinator of IGL made the statement to notify His Excellency Sen. Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, political parties and the entire public to beware that, the Independent Grassroot Liberators, IGL will not allow any form of campaign in Warri South West particularly Ogbe-ljoh Warri Kingdom if there is no lasting solution to the land dispute between Ogbe-ljoh and Aladja communities.

He asserted that if Government workers and others cannot use the access road to Ogbe-ljoh because of troublesome Aladja community people, a government road that belongs to everybody can't be used by anyone because of this dream killing epidemics Aladja people and the Government or the governor is doing nothing about it, then he or the government should know that the road and entire territory is also not safe for any kind of campaign. So there will be no campaign until there's permanent peace restored.

In his reaction, Amb. Engr. Okosu Smart added that campaigning in the headquarters of Warri South West is unnecessary and of no meaning for now until the necessary things be done by Political leaders and Sen. Dr. Okowa.

Smart Okosu said Dr. Okowa hasn't meet up to his campaign promises from his first to second terms, and now planning again to crown the next governor of Delta State without fulfilling his campaign promises to settle the age-long communal crisis between this two Communities will not work.

While Comrade Stevenson Numah, former Youth President of Ogbe-ijoh Warri Kingdom and the National spokesman of IGL added that, the Ogbe-ijoh Political leaders should see reasons with the Independent Grassroot Liberators (IGL) and the entire Youths.

He said it is high time our leaders should stop romancing with the government to the detriment of the grassroot people and the entire kingdom, and that IGL have made up their minds to stop any political campaign activities in this critical time without proffering a lasting solution to end the crisis.

Also adding his voice to the group, the National Grand Patron of IGL, Comrd Amb. Mamamu Bene Youkore who double as the National President of Niger Delta Youth Council worldwide urged the Governor of Delta State and Vice Presidential Candidate to listen to the voice of the masses of Warri South West people and do the needful to avoid distractions of campaign activities in the forthcoming general elections come 2023.

He noted that due to the endless communal crisis, there is no social infrastructural development in Ogbe-ljoh Warri Kingdom, thereby making life difficult for the people to live.

He added that Gov. Okowa should take drastic action to use the disputed land to mount Army Base so as to put an end to the argument of who is the true owner of the land between the two communities.

Others who speaks in similar vain at the protest includes the youth president of Ogbe-ljoh Warri Kingdom, Comrade Kenneth Ebikoro, Comrade Ebi Joe and Miss Oromoni bitterly called on Okowa PDP led Delta state government to immediately proffer a lasting solution between the two communities because they can no longer be patience seeing their prospective future leaders dieing untimely as result of the barbaric killings between Ogbe-ljoh and Aladja.
