The International Ijaw Youths Council (IYC) has called on security authorities to investigate and explain the details behind the accident involving former President Goodluck Jonathan’s convoy.
On their route from the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport to his Abuja house, the former president’s entourage was engaged in an accident.
In a statement posted in Port Harcourt, the group’s National President, Peter Timothy Igbifa, said the tragedy was an effort by certain conspirators to take the former president’s life before of the 2023 general elections.

According to Igbifa, Jonathan’s aides used themselves as human shields to defend him, paying the ultimate price in the process.
Igbifa who described the action of the aides as the highest level of sacrifice, said the Niger Delta region and the entire Ijaw nation would continue to remember their heroic deeds.
He wrote, “It is obvious that some people are after the former president. They want him dead. And we believe it is not unconnected with the constant appearance of his name in the forthcoming 2023 (presidential) election.”
The IYC National President warned that the entire Niger Delta and the Ijaw nation would shut down the Nigeria’s economy if anything happen to Jonathan.
