    HRM Asari Dokubo, Amayanabo of Torusarama-Piri, Elem Kalabari, has called attention to the situation of Ijaw communities in Edo State, expressing concern over what he described as the marginalisation of the people.

    Speaking during the 2026 Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide Manifesto Presentation and Debate in Degema, Rivers State, the respected Ijaw monarch urged greater focus on issues affecting Ijaws in the state.

    “Our next battleground is Edo State. We cannot allow the Ijaws in Edo State to remain in the condition they are,” he stated.
