Epileptic Ayakoromo Bridge Project, IPDI, Riverine Communities, Ayakoromo Youths Sets To Lockdown Govt House, Asaba In A Protest, Informs Gov. Okowa Ahead


It has come to our notice that Dr Ifeanyi Okowa led Government is less concern over the affairs of riverine communities. Delta State is not bankrupt or in recession that it can not continue with the Ayakoromo bridge and other laudable projects in riverine communities of Burutu Local Government area.

The bridge was first abandoned by Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa in his first tenure for two and half years after been awarded, and commencement of works at the site by his predecessor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan. The development was worrisome, and the concerned Ijaw youth leaders, members of IPDI ,Ijaw activists,  Ayakoromo and riverine communities went into protest some times 2017 to draw the attention of governor Ifeanyi Okowa towards the abandoned bridge, and after the protest the governor released some money for the commencement of work on the abandoned bridge. Now the bridge project is abandoned again, no work is ongoing at the bridge site for over 7months, and so many equipments have been evacuated from the site by the company responsible for the project. It is sad that despite our contributions in his first and second term victories, the governor does not see the need to release fund to complete the ongoing Ayakoromo bridge project.

Burutu deserves better treatments especially in terms of appointment and development as the economy importance of Burutu Local Government area to Delta State can never be overemphasized. The riverine communities have been cheated in terms of appointment and development, despite it contributes 80% of the revenue that sustained the state. It is wrong to steal from Paul to pay Peter.

It will interest you to know that 98% of capital projects done with our oil resources are being sited in the upland which hardly produced 5% of such resources. We are running out of patience again. The attitude of the state government towards the laudable Ayakoromo bridge project is unacceptable, and we have decided to lockdown government house, Asaba by January 30th in protest, if nothing is done about the bridge project before the end of January.  We are giving him till January ending but if he fails to release money for the continuation of the bridge project, by January ending we will go and lock the governor inside his office in protest to express our grievances.

We want Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa to place more priority on the Ayakoromo bridge project as regards the importance attached to it. We have emphasized in several times that the bridge when completed will  connect several Uhrobo and Ijaw rural communities to the urban cities in the state, and will help to solve the transport problem among riverine communities.

We have decided as concerned leaders of Ijaw People's Development Initiative, IPDI, Ayakoromo and other riverine communities youths after an enlarged meeting to shutdown Government house, Asaba in protest, by January 30, 2020 to express our grievances to Dr. senator Ifeanyi Okowa to urgently release money for the laudable bridge project.

New Year: Okowa SSA, Ezekiel Daniel Preaches Peace Among Deltans, Charges Political Appointees To Prioritise Youths Development ln Delta State

I wish to state that there is need for more unity among Deltans, despite our ethnic, religion and political backgrounds. There is a saying that in unity, we stand, and divided we fall. We should continue to abide by Christ Teachings. Unity is peace and peace is a sign of unity. Our governor, His excellency , senator Ifeanyi Okowa ,is so much concerned about the peace, unity and security of Deltans.

We should love ourselves and try to resolve our differences at round table. We (Delta State government) can only be at peace when Deltans are at peace. Peace is ultimate as no meaningful development can take place in a situation of rancor and crisis. I admonish our youths to be law abiding, stay away from crime and strive to make your parents proud. You can be a proud son and daughters of your parents when you tow the part of hard-working and remain lawful.

It is my advice that as we go into the new year, let's learn to be good youths of our dear state and our nation in particular. Don't create problem for your parents and work to be great sons and daughters of your parents. Youths are the light of the future of every nation. It is rightly said that preparation meet opportunity. Being as a youth ,you are too important to be wasted with petty things. Dream high in this new year and commit your dreams to God for divine accomplishement.

I also call on political appointees in the state to prioritize youth development. Hardship and joblessness are some factors of increase criminality in the society. We can use youth empowerment to fight crime. We can use employement to fight crime. Even vocational training, could be used to fight crime. As political appointees in the state, we can help the governor by assisting in the areas of engaging the youths in our areas in our little ways.

We will disappoint God and man, when we neglect our responsibilities and allow these youths to take up crime. This is a new year, let make amend. We should not totally see our appointments as self-empowerementno matter small it is. We can still help one or two persons from it. I know the pressure is high but don't runaway from your people.

I want to assured Deltans that they should expect more from His Excellency, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, the governor of Delta State. The governor will do amazing things in the state in 2020. He has great dreams for Deltans. And am sure, this good plans are all-embracing as it encompasses all categories of persons and sectors. I know by the time when he will roll out these plans, we will all smile.

In the nutshell, we are committed in serving you as officials of the state government. Pray for us to have God's enablement to meet your needs. We will equally have you in our prayers. Remain law-abiding and vigilant as we celebrate the new year.

Signed:

Comrade Ezekiel Daniel,
SSA on Security to the governor of Delta State.

Ojobo Vs SPDC, IYC Throws Weight Behind Host Community, Warns Nigerian Army Against Any Genocidal Attempt___ Oweilaemi Pereotubo Esq, IYC President Worldwide

Francis Tayor

The siege on SPDC platform at Beniseide Flow Station by Ojobo Community should not be given aggressive response. The people who are the host community to the SPDC's platform are only embarking on a peaceful protest which is within the ambit of the laws.

SPDC should immediately look into their complaints, given rise to the peaceful protest and occupation of the platform. It is evident that Shell has not adequately discharged its corporate responsibilities to Ojobo Community in spite of the economic wealth it is getting from the Community.

Ojobo people will not leave the platform until their demands are met. What is delaying the Ojobo Cluster Gas Turbine Project even when Federal Government has given approval to it? The Community is in darkness. There is no portable water to drink. The Company should address the concerns of the people instead of bullying them. They're only drawing the world's attention to the sorry state the Ijaws are passing through in the hands of the multi national oil companies and their Nigerian collaborators.

The Ijaw nation is solidly behind the peaceful protest embarked upon by Ojobo people at Beniseide Flow Station. Any attempt to use force on them will be resisted. The security agencies should be warned. They should not commit themselves as willing tools in the hands of SPDC to ferment strife in the Community. Let us be guided by the history of our recent past. We need peace in the Niger Delta.
