The Ijaw born Niger Delta musical legend, Chief Barrister S. Smooth alias Paddle of Niger Delta has advised Ijaws to join the All Progressive Congress, APC to actualize a total liberation from political slavery, underdevelopment and infrastructural deficits.

Speaking with Journalists in Warri yesterday, chief Barrister Smooth noted that, The people of Enekorogha community in Burutu Local Government Area, Delta State were being opposed, marginalised by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP led Delta State government.

He also disclosed that PDP was holding political powers at the Federal and state governments yet a street light project in Enekorogha community was abandoned for many years.

The present APC administration supported him (Smooth) to take electricity project to his own Ijaw community where he noticed that a solar street light project awarded by the Niger Delta Development commission, NDDC was abandoned.

Chief Barrister Smooth, a first class musician in Niger Delta also the commissioner representing Delta State on the Board of Nomadic Education, a federal ministry in Nigeria.

He said "Some Ijaw people can be in the PDP and others can be in the APC, for better opportunities. There will be a continuous slavery of the less privileged by some groups and persons who dominate and oppress the less privileged".

If Ijaws are really spreading themselves out to the APC, they benefit from federal government appointment ant it will contribute to the good of our people. Presently Ijaws are eating from a smaller pot, that is the PDP within the state level alone."
