Ijaw ethnic nationality has decried the continuous neglect and marginalisation of her people in Edo State, insisting that the Ijaw speaking people, being

aborigines of the state deserve a commissionership position in the State Executive Council led by Governor Godwin Obaseki.

Addressing the press at the weekend in Benin on behalf of the five Ijaw clans in the state and the entire Ijaw nation, secretary, Ijaw Youth Council, IYC, western zone, comprising Ondo, Edo and Delta states, Comrade Olu-Derimon Omaghomi said he was sent by the Ijaw nation to express their displeasure about happenings in the state politically.

In an emotion laden-voice he lamented: “We are not happy as Ijaw people. We are Ijaw people and we have five clans in Edo State namely, Egbema, Olodiama, Gbaraun, Furupagha and Okomu. And all these clans are economically viable. We have contributed economically to the growth of Edo State. And not just economically, but politically.
