NOTABLE Ijaw leaders met behind closed
doors in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State on the security situation in the country
and the safety of President Goodluck Jonathan.
Jonathan, who comes from Bayelsa, is Ijaw.
Our correspondent learnt that the
meeting, which took place at the Government House on Friday, was
reportedly convened by Governor Seriake Dickson.
It was attended by former Chairman of
the defunct Oil Mineral Producing Areas Development Commission, Chief
Albert Horsfall; former Governor of the old Rivers State, Alfred Diete
-Spiff; and former Bayelsa Governor Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha.
Others were former Minister of Aviation,
Alabo Graham-Douglas; former President of Ijaw National Congress, Chief
Joshua Fumudoh; and a Niger Delta activist, Ankio Briggs.
But former Federal Commissioner for
Information, Chief Edwin Clark, famously called the Ijaw Nation Leader,
was absent from the meeting, which lasted over six hours.
