FORWARN THE EDO STATE GOVERNMENT AND SECURITY AGENCIES IN EDO STATE --
~COMR. DOUBRA COLLINS OKETETE - SECRETARY IYC WESTERN ZONE.
Following the incessant harassment and invasion of the law abiding citizens of the peaceful Ijaw GELEGELE community in Ovia North-East Local Government Area of Edo State, the umbrella body of the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Western Zone ( Delta, Edo & Ondo States) has passed a sound warning to Oba N' Edo Ewuare-11,Oba of Benin Kingdom and his kinsmen through it General Secretary Comr. Doubra Collins Oketete over their Nefarious act by invading the law abiding Gelegele community in trying to map out a land to site a palace for the Oba, a community that doesn't belongs to the Benin Kingdom.
The IYC in a statement sent to creek news disclose that, "Gelegele (Gelegele Gbene) is one of the most ancient historical Ijaw communities of Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo state, Gelegele Community (Gelegele-gbene) is an ancient Olodiama Ijaw speaking Community founded by PA OLUGBO IKPITI several centuries ago. Gelegele is a boarder community between Ijaw communities and Edo communities on one hand and also it is a boundary community of Olodiama clan and Egbema clan of Delta and Edo states".
The Bini Monarch has often time plan to assimilate Gelegele gbene, hence the incessant invasion and harassment meted on the Gelegele people by the Oba of Benin.
The entire Ijaw Nation is aware of the Scheming, manipulations to lay claim to the Gelegele people and community, so as to share the wealth that accrues to the gelegele- community due to the attention being accorded by the Federal Government and the international community as an oil producing community in Edo state and the proposed establishment of a seaport and a new satellite town in Gelegele Community.
The IYC Western Zone through it's secretary Comr. Doubra said that continuous harassment and infernal act against the law abiding gelegele people is truly a call for war and the Ijaw Youth Council is gradually losing its patience over the continuous harassment meted on the GELEGELE community. Let it be known to the entire world that Ijaw people has never been conquered in the history of creation and that the Oba of benin and his kinsmen are only trying the patience of the Ijaw people.
Despite several complains lodged by the GELEGELE community to the Edo State Government and Security Agencies, it's obvious that the security agencies are aiding the odious act repeatedly exercised by the Oba Edo Ewuare 11. We stand not only to condemn the said act but to also sound a warning to stop forthwith.
Let it be known that the GELEGELE people are not alone. They belong to Ijaw Nation. Therefore, the Ijaw Youth Council and entire Ijaw Nation shall resist and defend our people "the GELEGELE community with the last tip of our blood. The Ijaw people are peaceful and law abiding people, but, our simplicity should not be taking for granted.
