“As we go into election of the collective Ijaw voice on the socio- cultural platform of the Ijaw National Congress let us remember that we all must display love for Ijaw nation. This is an era of Ijaw history we must all take sacrifice to make the Ijaw project work, we must do something different from the past history that stagnated our voice. We should allow the will of Ijaw nation prevail over individual interest. We are all in the struggle to defend one reality, one truth and that is Ijaw progress. Let us stand on the victory of Ijaw National Congress over individual interest.Let us try and elect Ijaw leaders that will establish a profitable and prestigious INC system that will stand the test of time, we Ijaw have a sacred mandate and responsibility to make the departed founding fathers of Ijaw National Congress and the Ijaw Nation proud by making this 2019 Ijaw National Congress election a peaceful and successful one. Let the history we are about to make not be soaked with the blood of violence and rancour. Let the history be wheeled by the wheels of peace and oiled by the muse of unity. Let us remember our subaltern status and support the Congress that will make us cross the subaltern line. Our battles and enemies are many and titanic, we need a united Ijaw front that can generate superior arguments to conquer for us. I wish us SUCCESS.” Benedict Binebai noted.

It would be recalled that the protracted Ijaw National Congress, INC election will be holding today at Yenagoa, the capital of Bayelsa State.
