The Urhobo Leaders of Thought, ULT, a group of Urhobo ethnic nationalities in Delta State, has accused the Ijaw ethnic group of having an expansionist agenda in the South-South and South-West regions of Nigeria.
“They want to claim what does not belong to them. They want to annex Aladja, Okuama, Gbaregolor, and Oboro, in Delta States. They also want to annex or lay claim to villages in Ondo, Lagos and Akwa-Ibom States”, Unagaha said. “The Urhobo and the Ijaw have lived together for too long. With the Federal government empowering some of them, they have the resources to overrun the neighbours they have lived with over these years.
