In a statement, Evah said the “displaying of those so-called Niger Deltans like school children for a photoshot to deceive the public about the governor’s popularity was an insult to Nigerians in general and the Niger Delta in particular”. Comrade Evah, who was the Coordinator of Non-Indigenes for the Actualisation of June 12, NIFAJ, and a former member of Committee for Defence of Human Rights, CDHR, during the struggle to force the military out of governance after the annulment of June 12, 1993 election said: “I have done detailed investigation of what happened in government House, Maiduguri and my investigation revealed that this governor (Governor Shettima) is not fit to even be a local government chairman in a sane country. “For him to packaged few elders like children before television cameras after promising them what he could not provide for them to condemn the patriotic demand of Chief E.K. Clark is enough evidence why the security situation is getting worse by the day in Borno State. “This confirms my group’s proposal during 2005 constitutional conference that any politician that wants to contest for political office must go through psychiatric test to ascertain his mental capability to manage the affairs of men and women in Nigeria.” The Niger Delta activist advised the governor to apologise to the Niger Delta region for parading few elders of the region living in the North like school children as a political survival strategy. “All well meaning Nigerians stand by Chief E.K. Clark’s demand that full emergency rule would have solved the problem of the political Boko Haram in Borno”.
