This endorsement is a demonstration of Okpoye’s unwavering commitment to the progress and welfare of the Ijaw people, through impactful developmental projects and transparent leadership.

This was contained in a joint statement signed by Comr. Roland Dade, president of the Ogulagha Kingdom Youth Council(OKYC), Comr. Kelvin City Eferusuoa, president, Egbama youth council (EYC), Comr. Kingsley Egbejule, president
Gbaramatu Youth Council (GYC),

Ogbe-Ijoh Warri Kingdom Youth Council, Comr. Quinton B. Tekedor, president

Comr. Loveday Omli, president
Idiwini kingdom Youth Council and others.

The statement reads, “We, the youths of the six oil and gas producing kingdoms—Ogulagha, Egbema, Gbaramatu, Ogbe-Ijoh, and Diebiri—hereby pass a unanimous vote of confidence in Hon. Spencer Okpoye, Commissioner representing the Ijaw nationality in the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC). Since his appointment, Hon. Okpoye has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the progress and welfare of the Ijaw people through impactful developmental projects and transparent leadership.

“Under his stewardship, numerous initiatives have been successfully implemented that have benefited our communities, and we believe he remains dedicated to the development of the oil-producing areas and the protection of our shared interests. His leadership is driven by a genuine passion to uplift the Ijaw people, and for this, we applaud him.

“We call on the Governor of Delta State to provide Hon. Okpoye with his full support in every area necessary to enable him to continue his work unhindered, ensuring that the Ijaw communities continue to benefit from the resources meant for their development.

“Furthermore, we strongly condemn the actions of those who, out of personal greed and selfish interests, have resorted to blackmailing Hon. Okpoye on social media and other platforms. Such malicious acts not only undermine the progress we have achieved but also tarnish the integrity of the commission and its noble objectives. We urge those involved in these slanderous campaigns to desist immediately, lest they face the full weight of the law.

“In conclusion, we stand firm in our support for Hon. Spencer Okpoye, and we are confident that his continued service will bring even greater benefits to the Ijaw people and Delta State at large”, they added.
