An Ijaw political pressure group known as the Bold Movement has charged Ijaw politicians and leaders of thought in Delta State to support the Group's campaign for an Ijaw Governor that will occupy the Dennis Osadebey House, Asaba for a better Delta State come 2023.

The Bold Movement gave the charge on Sunday in Warri in a statement made available to newsmen by its social media Publicity Secretary, Comrade Ebipade Fedeke.

The statement reveals that Chief Mulade Sheriff, sponsor of the Bold Movement, is an Ijaw traditional High Chief from Gbaramatu Kingdom in Warri South West LGA of Delta State, ready to sacrifice his governorship ambition so that the Ijaws can present one candidate towards actualizing the dream of producing the next Governor of Delta State.

According to the release, the Coordinator of Bold Movement, Chief Mulade Sheriff has embarked on constructive engagement with other ethnic groups to appeal for their support for a fair and equitable power rotation in Delta State.
