Senator Ogola , the chairman of the Bayelsa State caucus in the National Assembly is not happy with the way things are happening in the Ijaw nation.He has shared his opinion on the recent travails of former minister of Petroleum Diezani Alison-Madueke, who he claimed was targeted by people who do not like the Ijaw people. He advised President Muhammadu Buhari not to allow some of the people around him to create a gap between him and the Ijaws.

He said about the political persecution being carried out against the Ijaws. He claims that they are having the issue of Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke because is their daughter. In Bayelsa, there is nothing special to show that she was petroleum minister. So, he doesn't why they should be the target of political orchestration.

He said that the Governor General of the Ijaw nation (Alamieyeseigha) is no more simply because some people wanted him dead. Talking about the former minister, what people are saying in the Nigerian media is different from what is on ground.

Finally he has a lot of questions for Nigerians; Why is the government zeroing in on only Izon ex-government officials? Maybe the next target will be Jonathan. Is this price people have to pay for keeping this country together? Is this price people have to pay for surrendering political power peacefully?
