President of the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), Udengs Eradiri has promised to give Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo an Ijaw wife.
Highly elated Eradiri who made the disclosure on the new wife presentation to the vice president during his (Osinbajo) visit to Niger Delta on Monday also assured that Niger Delta youth will give support to the Buhari-led government.
Meanwhile, reacting to the new wife presentation promise made by the Ijaw youth leader Osinbajo said, “Let me finally speak to my brothers in the Ijaw Youth Council, I have heard you, I will take you message to Mr. President, you have spoken well.
“The only problem is your offer of a second wife, let me advise you not to let my wife catch you” He said.
Stop persecuting our leaders – Eradiri
Eradiri added, “This visit I’m sure is about building the confidence of our people, so going forward we appeal strongly that that the federal government stops persecution of Ijaw leaders and release all our young brothers, fathers who were arrested by the military.
“The military released over 100 of Boko haram suspects to Amnesty International, these are people who kill people so what explanations do we have to the way our own innocent sons are whisked away by the military just anyhow, his excellency let us do well to rebuild all confidence lost in this said process.”
“We are not saying Buhari should solve all Niger delta problems, we are only saying he should do the right things so that we will allow oil to flow for him to best run his government.
We will work with you as a very peace loving Niger Delta youth and believe you will enjoy your stay in Niger delta. Mr. Vice President, I wish you will be sleeping here tonight, so that we can give you another wife here”
