Ijaw National Congress (INC) Election of National Executives: The Dawn of a new era in Ijaw Nation.


We, Ijaw National Congress (INC) –Europe and North America Chapters, wish to use this medium to congratulate the newly elected National Executive Council of INC at the recent election which took place in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State on 16 March 2013.

As delegates and International Observers, we unanimously adjudge the election as free and fair within limits of human imperfections. Participants were screened by security operatives before admission into the conference hall where the election took place.　 We also observed that Delegates and Candidates conducted themselves in a peaceful and orderly manner. Delegates chose their preferred candidates in the privacy of the polling booths and then cast their votes in the designated transparent ballot boxes in public glare thus ensuring the principle of: "one man, one vote".　　 At the conclusion of the voting exercise, counting was also done in the public glare with the declaration of Winners and losers.　　 Winners were magnanimous in victory and losers were gracious in defeat. It was a family affair.

 
As Ijaw Nation chat a new course, we congratulate all the winners and losers and urge all parties to come together to foster unity of the organization for the greater good of Ijaw Nation and people.

 
Our sincere thanks to the Chief Broderick Bozimo led Electoral Committee for an outstanding job. We also acknowledge the indefatigable leadership of the immediate past INC-acting President - Chief Joshua Benamaisia and his Executive Council who have held the fort following a tumultuous period within the ranks of the executive council. There is no doubt that his able leadership has engendered this peaceful transition to the new Executive Council led by the President - Chief, Dr. (Senator) Tari Sekibo.

 
Thank you to all participants for conducting themselves in an atmosphere of peace, tranquility and brotherhood. The Ijaw Nation will forever remain grateful to you all for these laudable achievements.

 
We will not fail to thank the Executive Governor of Bayelsa State - His Excellency Governor Seriake Dickson for the tremendous support shown to INC which has made it possible for the Organization to carry out her activities especially the recently concluded election of the National Executives.

 
With this new dawn, we call on the emerging leadership of INC to ensure that a framework for reconciliation and peace is put in place upon assumption of office to ensure that Ijaw Nation is united and prepared to champion the Ijaw Cause and Agenda.

                                                  Gov. Sim Fubara  In a pivotal moment for Rivers State’s political landscape, Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s defiance against the Nigerian Police and their alleged interference in the State’s local government elections shines a spotlight on the deepening conflict between state sovereignty and judicial overreach.
