Reps’ Summon Of Jonathan: IYC Threatens To Occupy NASS

The Ijaw Youth Council, IYC led by Barr. Oweilaemi Pereotubor yesterday  threatened to occupy the National Assembly if the House of Representatives continues to insist that former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan should appear before an Adhoc Committee.
The Ijaw youths handed down the threat at the thanksgiving service organised by the the Nigeria Union of Journalists,Delta State Council led by Comrade Michael Ikeogwu and in Warri.
Speaking on behalf of the youths, Barr. Oweilaemi Pereotubor noted that the invitation by the House of Representatives Adhoc Committee to Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is a ploy to intimidate the Ijaw people.
“We will not allow anybody to intimidate us. This is another ploy to intimidate the Ijaw people. If the House of Representatives insists Goodluck Ebele Jonathan must come, we will occupy the National Assembly.”
Pereotubor who expressed anger over the invitation stated that it has never happened in the history of Nigeria.
Pereotubor stated that due processes should be followed if former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan should be invited at all stressing that,” Goodluck is just a former President. Whatever he has done, some persons may have done more dirty things than what he has done.”
Pereotubor claimed that the former president whom he described as a “Hero” was allegedly ambushed and forced out of office and that the Ijaw people are yet to come to terms with it.
The Ijaw youth leader also restated his calls for the true and genuine restructuring of the country.
“According to Pereorubor, this country must be restructured. We must sit down together as a people to peacefully agree that what belongs to the Ijaw people must be given to them. What belongs to the Niger Delta must be given to them.”
