National Chairman, Delta Central 2023, Chief Ighoyota Amori during the visit explained that It will only be better for Delta State to use senatorial movement than ethnic movement for rotations in deciding who becomes the state Governor.
“15 years ago Ibori contested and won. We have waited for years before it came to our turn again.
“It will only be better for Delta to use senatorial movement than ethnic movement. Just the way we started from Central, move to South and to North. He should be back to the central because central has waited for 15years.”
Amori who said that all those that disobey rotation has never won noted that after the central, it will go back to South where Ijaws can boldly tell Itsekiri that it’s there turn to go.

He said the Ijaws Governorship agenda is deeply rooted and every Ijaw speaking sons and daughters are very much interested.
“Ijaw argument is not ethnic rotations, our argument is justice and fairness. Ijaws are saying they have been part of supporting, complementing and making Governors, can’t Urhobo and Delta people give us chance to also produce Governor this time around?
