Abacha’s son gets highest Ijaw title

THE Bayelsa State Government yesterday honoured Mohammed, son of former Military Head of State, the late Gen. Sani Abacha, with the highest title in Ijaw land.
 
It bestowed on him the “Izon Ebidouwei of Ijawland.”
 
The title means “One who seeks the good of Ijawland”.
 
Mohammed was also presented with the flags of the Ijaw Nation.
 
Mohammed was invited by the government to be part of the 16th anniversary celebration of the state.
 
Bayelsa was created in 1996 by the late Abacha.
 
At a dinner organised by the government marking the anniversary, Governor Seriake Dickson, in the company of other Ijaw leaders, conferred the title on Mohammed and also presented the state’s Coat of Arms and flag to the people.
 
The event was held at the Banquet Hall of the Government House in Yenagoa on Monday night.
 
The government had earlier named a 150-unit housing estate, the main auditorium of the newly inaugurated Ijaw House and a road in the state capital, after the late Abacha.
 
Dickson said the state and the Ijaw Nation in general will continue to honour the late Abacha because of the bold step he took by creating Bayelsa state, a development he said has not only opened up Ijaw-land, but has made the Izon man proud.
 
Dickson said Mohammed is now an indigene of the state and urged him to build a family house in the state

Incredible… What a shame……  His father killed Saro Wiwa. Are they saying thank you… Your father did a good job.
Prostitutes are better than Politicians.. Saro Wiwa must be turning in his grave.

U have just spoken my mind here. After killing their main man Saro Wiwa they now celebrating him and placing his son above their own citizens. I don't think that dis people have sense at all.
