2019: Ijaws Unite Under DIPA, Adopt Okowa-Otuaro ticket
Ahead of 2019 general elections, a new body, Delta Ijaw Political Assembly (DIPA), was at the weekend inaugurated in Asaba, Delta state capital.
The body, which has Mr T.J. Government as chairman, however passed confidence vote on Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and vowed to massively mobilize for an Okowa-Otuaro ticket in 2019.
Deputy Governor of Delta State, Deacon Kingsley Burutu Otuaro, named earlier as chairman of the body’s Board of Trustees, unveiled its logo aided by others including Senator James Manager.
Otuaro, who spoke in Ijaw language, stated: “I’m impressed by the massive turnout for this inauguration. DIPA is a united front poised to advance the political interests of the Ijaw nation in Delta.
“I want to thank the Ijaws for their unique support in 2015. I am confident that the Ijaws who returned outstanding votes to the Okowa-Otuaro ticket in 2015 will in their known sincerity do same in 2019 as resolved here today”, he added.
Chief Emmanuel Amgbaduba, who spoke earlier expressed hope the Ijaws, resolving to work together, will cross the political red sea just as Senator James Manager charged the Ijaws to always guard power in its hands by massively supporting its own such as the Okowa-Otuaro ticket.
Giving his inaugural speech, DIPA chair, Mr T.J. Government thanked the Ijaw Politcal family for the trust and opportunity to lead and assured that the Ijaws would work assiduously to return Okowa-Otuaro in 2019 and continue to promote “our political interest”.
DIPA’s National Officers include Chief Bosin Ebikeme as Vice Chairman, Barr. Eric Omare as Secretary, Capt. Smart Asekutu as Treasurer, Mrs. Tina Yinkore as Women Leader and Chief Frank Omare as Spokesman.
Other members are P.C. Embelegha as Chief Whip, New-world Safugha as Chief Mobilisation Officer, Hon Godwin Edumogiren as Financial Secretary and Hon. Jude Sinebe as Youth Leader.
