The
President, Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide, Mr. Udengs Eradiri, has asked
President Goodluck Jonathan and Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson,
to be cautious of the gale of endorsements by self-serving persons and
groups.
Eradiri, who spoke on
Wednesday at a news conference, lamented that most sponsors of such
rallies and endorsements were inconsequential persons only out to make
money and gain political favours.
The
IYC President said though the showering of accolades on the President
and Dickson for a job well done was commendable, they should be careful
as this is the season for sycophants to strive in their business of
deceit through rallies and endorsements.
He
said, “The President and the governor should be able to separate
sycophancy from true support. Any man who is supporting the governor and
when he is given an assignment should be able to do his job diligently.
“Most
of them that are drumming support were given jobs to do but have
abandoned them. Those are not genuine supporters. Some of the people
clapping their hands for the governor are the people creating problems
for him. And so, the governor should be able to decipher sycophancy and
true support. He has done well and it is time for him to go for second
term.”
Eradiri said Ijaw youths would
use the forthcoming Ijaw Youth World Summit at the Petroleum Training
Institute Effurun, Warri, Delta State, to call on Jonathan and Dickson
to seek re-election in 2015.
