From Bulou Kosin
Delta State deputy governor, Deacon Kingsley Burutu Otuaro, says the Ijaw National Congress, INC, is “a laudable initiative that had guaranteed collective existence of Ijaw people in the complex Nigerian federation”.
While delivering his goodwill message, yesterday, at the opening ceremony of the INC elective convention holding in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, Otuaro further stated “the establishment of the INC was a dream come true”, adding that the body “has supported the development process of the Ijaw nation”.
The Deputy Governor expressed hope that the ongoing elective convention “will overcome the transitional challenges the INC had faced for some time now, and usher in a new leadership to move the Ijaw nation forward”.
Otuaro appealed to the aspirants to “approach the contest with the spirit of sportsmanship” just as he expressed confidence that INC electoral commission in place will ensure a credible process that will guarantee the emergence of a new leadership to move the Ijaw nation forward”.
