2023 Election: Ijaw National Congress Denies Endorsing Obi
The apex Ijaw socio-cultural body, Ijaw National Congress, has denied endorsing the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
According to a statement issued by the Obi-Datti campaign team, the INC had endorsed Obi at the Ijaw House, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, during an interactive session with the group.
However, in a counter statement signed by the INC National Publicity Secretary, Ezonebi Oyakemeagbegha, titled, ‘We have not endorsed any presidential candidate,’ the group said, “…the full text of the INC president’s address and footage at the interactive session with Mr Peter Obi are in the public domain and at no time was an endorsement mentioned.”
It added that it was willing to interface with any of the remaining 15 presidential candidates for the purpose of addressing and eliciting genuine commitment to the Ijaw agenda of restructuring, devolution of power, resource control, and other minimum conditions that could influence our support for the Nigerian project.
