President of the Kalabari Youth Council Worldwide, Amb Godspower Ipalibo Madodoye, has insisted that the leader of Kengema Unity Forum (KUF), Mr. Sobomabo Jackreece, spoke for himself or group in the meeting of some Kalabari and Ogoni stakeholders, and not for the Kalabari as an ethnic nationality in Rivers State.
Madodoye disclosed this in a statement in Port Harcourt, while interacting with journalists.
The Kalabari youth president, expressed dismay that Jackreece and Asari Dokubo went on to describe the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, in manners unbecoming of any decorous Kalabari person.
“It is regrettable that Jackreece and Dokubo had constantly in public glare used unprintable words to tarnish the soaring reputation of a governor adjudged to be the very best in Nigeria. A governor that has executed numerous development projects in Kalabari land, and has commenced the previously ignored Trans-Kalabari Road.
“The Kalabari Youth Council Worldwide hereby dissociates the entire Kalabari youths from the outbursts as they do not, in any way, represent the collective views of Kalabari people. We urge Rivers people to disregard in entirety, their unwarranted comments.
“Kalabari is a well respected ethnic group that is abundantly blessed with frontline traditional rulers, well informed youth bodies, elites, technocrats and academicians who can comfortably speak on her behalf when the need arises. His Excellency, Governor Nyesom Wike is strategically repositioning Rivers State, and we, as Kalabari people, are proud of his administration, and we are solidly behind him,” he added.
