Ahead of the February 14, 2015 Presidential election, a new political pressure group geared towards the realisation of General Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd.) Presidential ambition is to be inaugurated at Okere in Warri, Delta State on Monday January 5, 2015.
The group which is founded on the premise of perceived marginalization of Itsekiri by the President Goodluck Jonathan administration is being co- ordinated by a foremost Itsekiri activist, Prince David Iwere.
According to Prince Iwere,recent actions of the Jonathan's administration,especially "the unjustifiable indefinite postponement of the Ground Breaking Ceremony of the Ogidigben EPZ due to a mere threat by Tompolo and the dominance of Ijaw ethnic Nationality in the ruling PDP in political representation/appointment has made it imperative for members of the group whose political affiliation cuts across party linens to seek a better way forward for Itsekiris of Delta State' hence their decision to back Buhari's 2015 Presidential bid.
According to Prince David Iwere, the name of the new group is Buhari Movement for Change, BMC.
