The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) have once again maintained their support for the former President Goodluck Jonathan as the group yesterday warned President Buhari against arresting the former president in relation to Buhari’s on-going anti-corruption campaign.
The IYC president, Udengs Eradiri, revealed this when the youths converged at the Wellington Hotel Effurrun, Delta State, for the 2016 annual Major Isaac Boro anniversary celebration with the theme, “The ideals of Adaka Boro and the renewed militancy in the Niger Delta: The way forward,”
Eradiri addressing the issue of renewed militant action in the Niger Delta region said: “People have started discussing. There was a meeting in Abuja yesterday (Wednesday) but I told them that such a meeting would not work.
“If they want us to talk, they must first open the Maritime University and start admitting students, then we would now sit and talk.
“The same issues for which Adaka Boro and Ken Saro-Wiwa were killed are the same issues the Avengers are raising.
“There are no Avengers anywhere. Settle these issues and the avengers would fizzle away.”
