Gilor Kelly:

Chief Comrade Akiefa Frank, IYC Chairman Western Zone has called on Governor Ifeanyi Okowa to give more appointments to ljaw people in Delta state in his second tenure, noting that Ijaws are always faithful, supportive and loyal to him and PDP in every elections in the state.

According to Comrade Frank, since 1999 till day Ijaws has never support or voted for any party except PDP in all elections. "Our Excellency and Deltans could recall that in 2015 governorship election Ijaw Local Government Areas give him the highest votes, and in 2019 governorship election we (Ijaw) repeated the same by voting massively for all the PDP candidates.

The ljaws are always standing by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and they have voted massively for him in all his governorship elections including the 2015 governorship primaries."We are calling on Governor Okowa to reciprocate our loyalty and faithfulness to him by given ljaws more appointments in his second tenure, we expect Our Excellency to at least appoint two or three Commissioners in Burutu Local Government as the biggest Local Government Area in the state.

"Our Excellency should also give ljaw people more appointments as Board Chairman/Chairperson, SA and SSA in his tenure for always standing by him and voting massively for him in all his governorship elections".Chief Frank, appeal to Governor Okowa to consider and appoint ljaw person in the Warri three Local Government as Commissioner, stressing that there is nothing to write home about in those Ijaw people under Warri North, Warri South and Warri South-West Local Government.

They have been treated like third class citizens since the inception of those three Warri Local Government Areas. So we are begging our dear Governor to consider and appoint ljaw person as Commissioner this time for fairness, justice and peace.

Speaking with newsmen in Warri, Chief Comrade Akiefa Frank said, "l sincerely appeal to our dear Governor the "Road Master" to focus on Egodor road because that road is a dead trap, and he should complete the Ayakoromo bridge and the road that leads Esanma to Ezebiri.Speaking further, he said, the government should also look at the deplating state of Gbekebor and Tuomo communities.

And the House of Assembly members-elect should focus on their promises to the people they are representing. Most especially Hon. Asupa Forteta who's representing Burutu North to know the dying state of Gbekebor town and ward nine (9) where he Asupa comes from.

Governor Okowa should reward the efforts and support he received from the ljaw people in the riverine communities since 2014 starting from the governorship primaries by providing the basis social amenities, such as electricity, link roads across the communities, portable drinking water, good modern markets, good healthcare center with health facilities and good education with quality teachers to teach the students."I know Mr Governor will hear the cry and plea of the ljaw people and keep to his promised to do something, he always keep to his words as a listening governor, "he said.

Olu Of Warri Defends Tradition, Speaks on Christianity The Olu of Warri, His Majesty Ògíamẹ̀ Atúwàtse III, has dispelled the insinuation that there is a conflict between the traditional thrones and Christendom. The monarch, who stated this when he received the Soun of Ogbomoso land, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye, Orumogege III, in his Palace in Warri Kingdom, Delta State, said that the two institutions were not necessarily antithetical.
