The Ijaw Youth Council, IYC, the umbrella body of Ijaw youths worldwide, has labelled former two-time governor of Akwa Ibom State and a member of the ongoing national conference a ‘disappointment to the Niger Delta people’ over his statement on the 13 per cent derivation.

A statement by the IYC and signed by its spokesman, Eric Omare, in Yenagoa yesterday, said such comment, coming out from someone who was in the forefront for resource control when he was the governor, was a betrayal of trust.

Attah had in an interview asked the South-South delegates who served in the National Conference Committee on Devolution of Power to agree to retain 13 per cent derivation because of national interest and to avoid secession.
