Amb. Collins Tarasele

“THE PURPORTED IYC NATIONAL ELECTION CONDUCTED YESTERDAY BY SOLOMON URANG, I AMB. TARASELE COLLINS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IJAW YOUTH COUNCIL DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE SAID ELECTION AND I DO NOT RECOGNIZE ANY OF SUCH ELECTION.

“It is no longer news that the defunct Solomon Urang factional Electoral Committee of the Ijaw Youth Council yesterday alleged that IYC National election was conducted yesterday which rumors have it that Dr. Alaye Tari Theophilius emerged as the President.

“It is however on record that because of the sacrosanct unity of the Ijaw Nation the Executive Governor of Bayelsa State Sen. Douye Diri harmonized both factions for a smooth and peaceful transition process which gave birth to yesterday’s elective convention in Ijaw House but was later inconclusive because of delegate harmonization between both factions.

“This press statement is therefore rudimental, as I wish to unequivocally state that i was not part of yesterday’s purported elective convention. I was totally absent in every sense and I do not give my consent to the process.

“It is also elemental that i clear the air because formally I was part and parcel of the Dcn. Peter Igbifa led faction until the harmonization/Unity elective Convention of both factions.

“With the above statement I wish to inform the general public, Ijaw Youths, delegates and most especially the Electoral Committee led by Comr. Gilpin Okeseisima that I still stand with the Unity Elective Convention as my name is already on the Presidential ballot paper and I will be participating fully in all the processes in the forth coming Ijaw Youth Council National Elective Convention slated to hold on the 22nd-23rd of July in Obuama, Rivers State Nigeria.”
