The Ijaw ethnicity in Delta state has called on Honorable Gabriel
Chukwuma Oyibode to contest as governor in the state come 2015.
In a statement sent to Delta Decides which was signed by 33 Ijaw
stakeholders and was coordinated by Hon. Oyakemeaghagh Douglas, which reads ‘’we’ve discovered a man who is a
true Deltan, from the extractions of Kwale and Urhobo, a man of impeccable
character and flawless integrity, a man who had positively impacted on the
lives of Deltans’’.
They noted that Deltans are yet to to enjoy the amazing
abundant natural resources of the state, as a few selfish Deltans have hijacked
the God-given wealth the we are supposed to benefit from, adding that Deltans
deserve purposeful leadership and rapid development that will transform the
lives of the deltan particularly the grassroots.
In reaction to the clarion call, the philanthropist and Chief
Executive Officer of Gabriel Oyibode Foundation (G O Foundation) Hon. Oyibode,
said he feels honored to be seen as one who can impact on the lives of Deltans.
Speaking further, he said ‘’it is only God that can give power. If Deltans and
God call on me to serve, I have no power to say no. My concentration is to
better the life of the downtrodden’’ he concluded.
