The United Kingdom-based Itsekiri Congress UK, ICUK, has warned against any pact that would lead to the permanent ceding of chairmanship of Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State to Egbema Ijaw.
In a statement by Dede Ukuti, President and Mr Sheyi Mackson Ejejigbe, Public Relations Officer, the group condemned the alleged proposal that the Itsekiri should, out of political exigency, cede the chairmanship of the council to Egbema Ijaw, which would in turn support their aspiration for the Senate seat.
According to the group, “Giving away the chairmanship of Warri North is short-sightedness in negotiation, which should not be carried forward.’’
