Acting Delta Speaker Wants Ijaw Youths To Embrace Amnesty
Acting Speaker of the Delta House of Assembly, has urged Ijaw youths to shun criminalities and embrace the Federal Government’s amnesty programme.
Ganagana made the call on Thursday in Asaba, when members of the National Association of Ijaw Graduates paid him a courtesy visit.
He said that the activities of militants had led to the loss of many lives, particularly youths in the Niger Delta region.
The acting speaker, therefore, advised members of the association to take to responsible conducts and uphold the integrity of the Ijaw nation in all their activities.
On the 2011 general elections, Ganagana urged them to support the “one man, one vote” campaign in order to make the polls credible.
Earlier, the President of the association, Mr Paul Pawuru, said that the purpose of their visit was to identify with the House of Assembly.
Meanwhile, the House of Assembly has received a Bill for a law to amend the Local Government Law, 2004.
The Bill is sponsored by the member representing Warri South West constituency, Mr Daniel Mayuku and the House has committed it for second reading.

Kalabari Media Forum Hails Recognition Of Dokubo Asari As Amayanabo
The Kalabari Media Forum has endorsed the recognition of Alabo, Alhaji Mujaheed Dokubo Asari as the Amayanabo of Torusarama Piri and the historical relevance of the award.
A communique issued after the 2024 end of year summit of the Forum also commends the Executive Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminialaye Joseph Fubara for the recognition which they described as the best end of year gift to the Kalabari people.
The Communique signed by the Coordinator of the Forum, Alabo Dagogo Clinton and the Secretary, Mr. Harry Awolayeofori Macmorrison states that the gesture should make the Kalabari people to get back to the drawing board and consolidate on existing inter and intra communal peace within the region.
According to the statement, Torusarama Piri was the first place where the founding fathers of Kalabari converged from different cultures, tribes and backgrounds. Adding that those saying that the Kalabari people are not united should think again.
” As the different founding fathers were able to form a formidable ethnic nationality, modern day Kalabari should be able to sink the differences between the constituent communities and with other non-Kalabari speaking neighbours to achieve the needed internal cohesion for development”. It states.
The Forum further congratulated Alabo Asari Dokubo on his recognition and urged him to use the opportunity to do even more for the Kalabari people and Rivers State as a whole.
According to the statement, the Forum is happy with the recognition of Dokubo Asari not because he is one of the patrons of the Forum, but because he is about the most Kalabari-centric figure living, who has also committed enormous resources for the protection of the Kalabari people.
They urged the Kalabari Se Kobiri and the entire people of the ethnic nationality to work with Alabo Dokubo Asari and put to rest speculations about Kalabari that some persons have exploited against the interest of the Kalabari people over the years.
