Diri Moves To Reconcile Ijaw National Congress Factions, Recognises Igbadiwe-Led Group

By Niger Delta Reporters

Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri has taken another step towards resolving the leadership crisis within the Ijaw National Congress.

The governor reportedly recognised the Igbadiwe-led faction as part of efforts to bring an end to the prolonged disagreement within the influential Ijaw socio-cultural organisation.

The development is significant because the Ijaw National Congress plays an important role in political, cultural and socio-economic discussions across the Niger Delta.

Diri has called for unity among Ijaw people, stressing the importance of collective action in advancing the interests of the Ijaw nation.

The reconciliation effort is expected to attract reactions from different Ijaw leaders and stakeholders.
