IJAW NATION REACTS TO THREAT ON THE LIFE OF THE AAC GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE- URGE SECURITY AGENCIES TO INVESTIGATE THE PERPETRATORS.
The attention of the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide has been drawn to the threat to the life of the AAC Gubernatorial Candidate in Rivers state Mr. Biokpomabo Awara by Governor Wike and his agents who are making desperate moves to eliminate Mr. Awara by all means in his bid to be re-elected as the Governor of Rivers State.
In a Statement by the Spokesman of the Council, Comrade Daniel Dasimaka described the situation as very unfortunate and sad noting that Mr. Awara is an Ijaw son and Ijaws all over the world would not sit back and watch any further threat to one of their own who like every Rivers son and daughter, has the right to aspire to the office of the Governor of Rivers State.
According to the AAC Gubernatorial candidate, Biokpomabo Awara who confirmed these allegations through his campaign organisation that Gov. Wike and a few others that have arrogated to themselves the power of life and death to remain in Government are plotting to assassinate him.
It is therefore imperative to note that the rights of every eligible citizen under our Constitution to vie for political position of their choice like Mr Awara has presented himself should be respected and not seen as threat to a fair contest.
Against the backdrop of the foregoing, "the IYC is therefore calling on the security agencies to investigate those behind this cowardly act and bring them to justice as we stand against political killings in Rivers state". Dasimaka said.
