The Ijaw People in Delta State are now set to host Chief James Onanefe Ibori, former governor of Delta state from 1999 to 2007, as a mark of appreciation for opening up the riverine Ijaw communities in the state, when he was governor.

The people noted the determination and political will he demonstrated at the dawn of the new democratic dispensation in 1999.

The hosting which is long overdue is aimed at honouring and recognising Chief Ibori’s role in the advancement and development of the Ijaw people of Delta state.

Highlights of Chief Ibori’s goodwill for which the Delta Ijaw are grateful, include:

(i). Forthrightness, doggedness and determination towards ensuring the end of the fratricidal Ijaw/Itsekiri ethnic crisis, thereby saving several lives and property;

(ii). Relocation of the headquarters of Warri South West LGA to Ogbe-Ijoh town, which today has reunited Ijaw/Itsekiri together;

(iii). The quality of political space and mentorship of the Ibori- led government that has led to Ijaw people being assisted to become notable personalities and gladiators such as Senator James Manager, Chief Pius Sinebe, Rt Hon. Frank Enekerogha, Barr. Bosin Ebikeme, Dr Braduce Angozi, Chief Frank Omare, Mr. George Timinimi, Rt. Hon. Solomon Funkekeme, amongst others, and today, Barr. Kingsley Burutu Otuaro has climbed to become the deputy governor of Delta state.

(iv). The construction of Bomadi Bridge which has opened up Ijaw land. This gesture has given a clear indication that in spite of the terrain, the Ijaw riverine area can be developed with road infrastructure.
