Delta 2023: Activist begs Orubebe to forgive kinsmen and support ljaw Agenda

As the 2023 general elections draws nearer and the bid for Ijaw Governor thicken particularly in Delta State, a renowned youth advocate, social crusader and Niger Delta activist, Comr Keneware Emmanuel, popularly known as the "Pentiger" has written an appeal to Elder Godday Orubebe, a former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs to throw his weight wholeheartedly in the Ijaw Governorship Agenda.

The activist begged Orubebe, who was a former Governorship aspirant in 2015, to let bygone be bygone and support the Ijaw Agenda.

He said; it is bad for Ijaw to betray Ijaw looking at how marginalized and balkanized we are as a people in Nigeria.

Our struggle and fight should be on the Nigeria Government and the various draconian laws that prevent us from controlling and enjoying our resources, and not Ijaw against Ijaw.

Sir, it was very bad that your kinsmen and tribesmen never supported your ambition,  when we even have an Ijaw President at the federal government that would've okayed it at once.

But you're a leader par excellence, an elder statesman, a political icon, mentor, trailblazer worthy of emulation.

Your kinds who reverence God and serve him passionately despite your status, taste of power and wealth is very rare. 

As the Holy Bible says in Mathew 6:14-15, forgiveness is key as Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ commanded.

It is only when we forgive, then our Heavenly father will also forgive us.

I therefore, appeal passionately to you as a patriotic and passionate Ijaw son to throw your weight in the Ijaw Governorship Agenda. 

Not for anyone else, but for the sake of God and the Ijaw people, who are the most brutalized, marginalized, balkanized and neglected people in the Nigeria nation, the statement added.
