On his part, Igarama expressed gratitude to Evah for leading him aright over the years in the line of activism.

“We have come to seek your wise counsel and blessings as the 9th Zonal Executive Council kicks off the mandate of the Rebirth Agenda,” Igarama said.
Reacting, Evah commended the delegation for choosing the path of “unity and harmony in its agenda”.
“What you’re doing can never be in vain. You’ll be discouraged in different ways. It’s a thing of joy to carry the mandate of your people. I encourage you to be consistent.
“Don’t be discouraged. Your steadfastness allows your name to be written in gold. As far as Ijaw nation is concerned, IYC has not failed her,” Evah stressed.
The activist further called on stakeholders and public officials to give the needed support to the IYC, describing the body as the strength of Ijaws and the Niger Delta.
