With controversies surrounding the recent Bayelsa State governorship election and the emergence of Mr. David Lyon as the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the Ijaw Youth Congress (IYC) on Monday called for the institution of a unity government in the state.

Barrister Roland Pereotubo Oweilaemi, President, IYC Worldwide in a statement made available to The NEXT EDITION on Monday, said the incoming All Progressives Congress (APC) government should run what the group termed ‘a government without border’.

He explained that the IYC had been advocating that the opposition parties should be incorporated in the incoming Bayelsa State executive committee.

Oweilaemi stated: “The governor-elect, His Excellency, Chief David Lyon, should also commence the process of reconciliation immediately to ensure that Bayelsa State is peaceful. Peace in Bayelsa State means peace in Ijaw land.

“The governor should strive to reconcile with all aggrieved persons for peace and development of the state and the Ijaw nation.

“The governor, by his position, is the leader of all Bayelsans and by extension the Ijaw nation. He should therefore carry everybody along notwithstanding the political leanings.

“For sometimes now the Ijaw nation is missing in action in the liberation struggle due to the fact that our foremost socio-cultural organisations are engulfed in leadership crisis.

“The incoming governor should have the polarisations and the leadership melee, both in the INC (Ijaw National Congress) and the IYC in mind and therefore take a non-partisan step to resolve all pending issues. The Ijaw nation needs to move and now is the time.”
