The Ijaw National Congress (INC), said the 1914 amalgamation of ethnic nationalities by the British colonialists has since expired.
The congress said in a communiqué at the end of a two-day summit in Yenagoa, capital of Bayelsa State, that it has therefore decided that the Ijaw nation would initiate the process of re-negotiating its co-existence with other nationalities in the country. They are reechoing ongoing argument of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) since 2014 on the expiration of Nigeria.
