A Delta State-born renowned peace and development advocate Comrade Mulade Sheriff, Ph.D. has appeal to the various ethnic nationalities, particularly the Ijaw, Itsekiri, and Urhobo ethnic groups in Warri Federal Constituency of Delta State.
The Ibe-Serimowei of ancient Gbaramatu Kingdom made the appeal while addressing stakeholders during this year International Day of Peace celebration, with the theme: ‘Act Now for a Peaceful World.’ As we gather today, we are reminded that peace is not just a dream, but a necessity for a thriving world.
This theme calls upon us to take immediate action, to be proactive, effective, and to be responsible stewards of peace. Let us use this occasion to reflect on our individual and collective roles in fostering peace and peaceful coexistence, understanding, and cooperation.
Let me, once again, urge our dear traditional rulers, community leaders and youths in Delta State, and Nigeria at large, not to give room for violence or be used to foment crises in the state. Rather, they should continue to support and endeavour to promote peaceful coexistence among the various ethnic nationalities of Urhobo, Ijaw, Itsekiri, Isoko, and Anioma people in Delta State.
Let me use this day to strongly appeal particularly to my dear people Ijaws, Itsekiris and Urhobo ethnic nationalities in Warri Federal Constituency of Delta State, to embrace peaceful coexistence among themselves devoid of divide-and-rule ethnic infiltrators, crisis sponsors and beneficiaries to allow Warri enjoy her peace and beauty of development.
The renowned human and environmental justice activist, Dr Mulade, said it is imperative to state categorically that there is NO OPEN TICKET for crisis beyond 2031 in Warri Federal Constituency. Wearri needs permanent peace more than elections and voters, which will create a conducive atmosphere to attract investors, employment opportunities, and development to our communities, he asserted.
Together, we can make a difference in Warri and Delta State. Let us act now to promote peace, justice, and equality, and to build a world where everyone can live with dignity and respect.
Once again, let me strongly appeal to all Deltans and residents to give maximum support and cooperation to His Excellency, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, Executive Governor of Delta State to enable us enjoyed the dividend of democracy and development in our dire state.
I sincerely thank Nigerians for joining the world to celebrate and commemorate this important day for a more peaceful world.
