Chairman of Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), Eastern Zone, Comrade Sammy George has cautioned the youths and elders of Rivers State to display high sense of maturity and patriotism as the continuation of collation of results in the governorship and House of Assembly election takes off.
Chatting with newsmen Thursday, the IYC boss enjoined them to be wary of intrigues of the “enemies of democracy and forces of tyranny who have ulterior motives and plans.”
He advised Rivers people to vote with their conscience and exercise their franchise credibly.
“Democracy is about freedom and justice and this will surely prevail at the end of the day. We should not despair or entertain fear and we should not fall for the provocation of mischief makers,” he said.
The IYC boss said that Rivers people must stand their stand, express their democratic freedom and also make their choices without fear or favour.
“Ijaw is not just about the flesh, but the spirit and we know him that stood by us in our times of trials and turbulence and we shall never betray such one,” he said.
He took a swipe at some “chronic Ijaw haters that come like a thief in the night with pretense to help actualize the aspirations of Ijaws, through a self-serving blanket of deceit.”
