Delta: Ijaw Group Clamours For Urhobo Governor
Delta South Coordinator of Delta Monitoring Group (DMG), Comrade Ebinabo Isaba, has called on the people of Delta South Senatorial District to support Delta Central to produce the governor of the state in 2023.
Comrade Isaba, an Ijaw man from Burutu LGA in Delta South who made this call after a meeting of the group in Warri explained that the unwritten agreement of power rotation among the three Senatorial Districts by the political elites had brought peace and stability in the state.
He noted that in 1999 when the military handed over power to civilians, Chief James Ibori from Delta Central Senatorial District became the Governor of the state and he ruled for eight years.
He explained further that Chief Ibori handed over power to Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan from Delta South who in turn handed over power to the incumbent Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa from Delta North after completing his two terms.
