A Special Appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the National Assembly: Uniting Nigeria by Empowering the Ijaw People
Mr. President, as you embark on your mission to lead Nigeria towards a brighter future, we implore you to consider the plight of the Ijaw people, a vibrant and crucial component of our nation’s fabric For far too long, they have endured the painful consequences of Balkanisation, inadequate political representation, and a pervasive sense of invisibility and silencing.
We implore you, Mr. President, to be the catalyst for change that the Ijaw people so desperately need. Their yearning for self-determination, resource control, and the rapid development of their region can no longer be ignored. It is time for the Ijaw people to reclaim their rightful place as equal partners in the Nigerian project, contributing their unique talents and perspectives to the nation’s progress.
As you navigate the complexities of state creation, we urge you to consider the Ijaw people’s unique circumstances. Their rich history, vibrant culture, and significant contributions to Nigeria’s growth and development underscore their deservingness of equitable representation and a platform to thrive.
Mr. President, spread national love to Ijaw nation. You are on the lane of God. This is a momentous opportunity for your administration to etch its legacy in the annals of Nigerian history. By supporting the creation of additional states that encompass the Ijaw people, you will not only be advancing the cause of justice and equality but also unlocking the immense potential of this talented and passionate community.
We are confident that under your leadership, Nigeria can overcome its current challenges and emerge stronger, more united, and more prosperous. The Ijaw people are eager to contribute their quota to this noble endeavour, but they need a fair chance to do so. We believe that granting them greater autonomy and representation will not only empower them but also strengthen our nation as a whole.
Thank you, Mr. President, for your attention to this pressing matter. We eagerly await your response and look forward to working with your administration to create a brighter future for all Nigerians, including the Ijaw people.
