The Vice president of the Ogboinbiri Federated Youth president, Comrade Job Tarilayefa Alpheaus and majority of its members have expressed their unwavering commitment to the Bayelsa state governor, Senator Douye Diri, his Deputy governor, Senator Lawrence Evwrudjakpo, Executive chairman of Southern Ijaw local government area, Hon Target Segibo and other stakeholders, for their wisdom, capacity, patience and deserved attention given to the unfounded crisis that has rocked the peaceful Ogboinbiri Community in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa state.

This was contained in a statement signed by the Vice president of Ogboinbiri Youth Federation, Comrade Job Tarilayefa Alpheaus and jointly signed by Comrade Ikeinka Wariayibapre Genesis, Comrade Timi Moses and Comrade Pere Ayiba-Esin Nicole.

The statement reads in part. “The youth president cannot be sensitive enough to quote the Ogboinbiri constitution when it favours him by being the pioneer president for a two year term and cannot be sensible enough to know that the same constitution which enabled him two years term also disabled him the jurisdiction to appoint the community taskforce, “a man cannot eat his cake and have it”

The statement further added that “just two weeks ago, one of the scrupulous elements he recruited as member of his task force was apprehended by the officers of the Nigeria police force Presently in the community for peace keeping with illicit drugs, and was taken to Yenagoa and handed over to the operatives of “Doo Akpor” for further investigation, this is one of the many many cases involving his taskforce members in drug deals, theft and other social vices”

“Surprisingly, in the midst of this gross ignorance on issue of a working constitution, he proceeded and single handedly appointed a group of individuals, who are convicted cultists, thieves and hard drugs addicted and peddlers and named them members of the taskforce, a committee that was previously manned by individuals with competence, character, capacity, credibility and integrity”

“As the vice president of the Ogboinbiri Federated Youths, and leader of the majority of law abiding youths who has chosen to walk on the path of truth with me to emancipate Ogboinbiri Community from the shackles of economic injustice from the conspirators and deep pockets, l am assuring the state government and all individuals who are investing their time and putting efforts with a view to resolving the issues, that we will continue to be law abiding even as we trust the capacity of his excellency, Senator Douye Diri and Executive Chairman of Southern Ijaw Local Government Area, Hon Target Segibo, of that conspirators, whose desire is to invent and sponsor native war in Ogboinbiri Community and other Ijaw communities to impede on their development and growth will not succeed under their watch”

“Insulting and bringing into public ridicule, constituted authority is not our way, but that of those with violent disposition as displayed by the youth president, Mr Experience Pere and his cohorts, since the inception of this crisis. Ogboinbiri must be better.” The Vice president said.
