Clark laments ‘oppression’ of Ijaw, Niger Delta Nigerian state Chinyere Okoroafor
Bolaji Ogundele, Abuja
Ijaw National Leader, Chief Edwin Clark, has lamented the alleged inequitable treatment so far meted to the Ijaw nation and the entire Niger Delta region by the Nigerian state.
The elder statesman, who spoke when a former governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Seriake Dickson, paid him a courtesy visit at his Abuja residence, noted that the entire oil-rich region, especially his Ijaw ethnic group, had been consistently oppressed, despite being the region where the nation’s economic sustenance comes from.
He, however, noted that there would not be unity in the country where some see themselves as superior to others, warning that a time would soon come when the people would take their destiny into their own hands.
