Confab delegates: Itsekiri youths  spit fire

WARRI—Alarmed by the exclusion of the Itsekiris in the delegates selection for the national conference, the Itsekiri National Youth Council, INYC, has said failure by the relevant authorities to correct the perceived anomaly was a call for unrest.

In a chat with Vanguard in Warri, Delta State, yesterday, Shola Jakpa, President INYC, said the call for calm among Itsekiris over their exclusion in the confab cannot assuage widespread anger among the people in the light of the impunity with which government took the action.

“We have been told to be calm about being made not to have a say at a conference to determine who gets what, when and how in a renegotiated Nigeria. How does anybody expect us to be calm? This is the only national conference in the annals of Nigeria that we are being alienated.”
