Rivers: Ex Niger-Delta agitator Delta agitator, General Sobomabo Jackrich insists no Ikwerre indigene will be Governor I want to appeal to Rivers people to let equity, justice and fair play remain the cardinal ingredient of peaceful co-existence and selection of the next governor. “I am drawing my conclusions from the fact that in 1999 a certain Dr. Peter Odili, an upland man was elected governor; he enjoyed the office for eight years. “Barr Celestine Omehia from the upland was also elected in 2007 and was there for five months before Governor. Rotimi Amaechi, who is equally an upland man was imposed on the people and has enjoyed the office going to eight years. “The question is, what about the Riverine? Are there no capable individuals to assume that office? It is morally wrong to politically deny the Riverines in the spirit of equity, justice and fair play. We must not allow a particular tribe to succeed themselves in a multi-ethnic state like Rivers”, he said.
