As the race for the presidency of the Ijaw National Congress (INC) gathers momentum, stakeholders across Ijaw land are increasingly rallying behind Igbadiwei, citing his leadership capacity, unwavering commitment to the Ijaw struggle, and grassroots connection as key reasons for their support.

Across the Niger Delta, many believe that Igbadiwei represents a new wave of purposeful leadership—one that understands the core challenges facing the Ijaw people and is prepared to confront them with courage, strategy, and unity. His long-standing involvement in advocacy for resource control, environmental justice, and youth empowerment has earned him credibility among elders, youths, and opinion leaders alike.

Supporters argue that Igbadiwei’s passion for the Ijaw cause is unmatched. Over the years, he has consistently demonstrated dedication to the protection of Ijaw identity, culture, and political relevance within Nigeria. This has positioned him as a trusted voice in critical discussions affecting the region.

Another major factor working in his favor is his strong grassroots appeal. From riverine communities to urban centers, his message resonates with ordinary people who see him as accessible, responsive, and genuinely concerned about their welfare. Many believe that his leadership will bridge the gap between the elite and the grassroots within the INC structure.

In addition, Igbadiwei is widely regarded as a unifier. At a time when cohesion is crucial for the Ijaw nation to assert its interests, his ability to bring together diverse groups and stakeholders is seen as a major advantage. His inclusive approach to leadership is expected to strengthen the INC and enhance its influence nationally.

Stakeholders also point to his visionary ideas for economic development, youth engagement, and institutional strengthening of the INC. They believe his presidency will not only sustain the legacy of past leaders but also reposition the organization for greater relevance in contemporary Nigeria.

As the forthcoming INC elections approach, it is becoming increasingly clear that Igbadiwei enjoys widespread support across the Ijaw nation. For many, his emergence is not just a candidacy, but a movement driven by hope, trust, and the collective desire for a stronger and more united Ijaw voice.
