Rivers: Why Ijaw youths visited Fubara

The IYC were on a solidarity walk to the Government House in Port Harcourt on Thursday, May 16, to mark the 56 anniversary of the late Maj. Isaac Adaka Boro.

Fubara said Adaka Boro genuinely stood for equity, justice, and fair play and pursued his course to ensure the liberation of the Ijaw people and their clans.

The governor emphasised that every genuine Rivers man was a liberator. He was delighted to receive them on such auspicious day to re-enact the common purpose of liberation.

Fubara appreciates Ijaw youths

Fubara thanked the large crowd for their assurances that they would be available to respond to his call and stand by him, saying there would not be any need to disrupt the peace.

He insisted that the enemies of the state had been defeated already.

His statement reads in part:

“By the special grace of God, what they thought that they would have done to us while we were celebrating our one year in office, they are the ones sleeping with their two eyes open. It shows that we have the Ijaw blood. And what is that blood: it is the blood of action; less talk, more action.”
