Ijaw National Congress ,INC, has urged Ohanaeze Ndigbo to avoid provocative statements, that would bring another round of tense politics in Rivers.
Mr Ezonebi Oyakemeagbegha, National Publicity Secretary, INC Worldwide said this yesterday in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria ,NAN, in Asaba.
Oyakemeagbegha was reacting to a publication in a section of the media credited to Ohanaeze Ndigbo backing the 27 lawmakers, who have forfeited their seats, arising from their cross-carpeting to another party.
“The attention of the leadership of INC Worldwide has been drawn to an online publication credited to Ohanaeze Ndigbo backing the 27 lawmakers, who have forfeited their seats, arising from their cross-carpeting to another party.
“The INC, therefore, advise strongly, that Ohanaeze should concentrate on how to resolve their internal crisis within its Organisation and leave the politics of Rivers State.
“The INC ponders with keen concern the recent interest the Ohanaeze Ndigbo has developed in Rivers State.
“The INC will continue to stand with His Excellency, Similaiye Fubura, the Executive Governor of Rivers State”, the statement quoted Oyakemeagbegha as saying.
