The Reformed Supreme Egbesu Assembly on Friday said the intervention of Ija ancestral gods has averted crisis in Bayelsa from proposed rallies by rival groups.

The Reformed Supreme Egbesu said it appreciates the gods of the land for accepting the sacrifice of peace and protection of the Ijaw nation from both internal and external enemies.

Apostle Clarkson Ebibode Jackson, leader of the Assembly made these known in a statement issued on Friday in Yenagoa.

He noted that after due consultation with priests and apostles of Egbesu, the became assured of peace and stability despite the unfathomable instigators and detractors whose interest is to put Bayelsa state into unreasonable chaos.

?The gods have assured their downfall and extraordinary shame.

?The Assembly also revealed that any Ijaw son who has gone astray and is bent on testing the will of our deity is doing that at their own detriment.

?The sponsors of NEW Associates and their cohort are hereby advised to stop provoking the Ijaw Nation as it will not end well,? the Egbesu Assembly warned.

Jackson further warned them not to test the powers in Ijaw land and make provocative statements, adding that henceforth, it will be fire for fire.

?Every attempt to insult and embarrass the governor general of Ijaw nation at will, can no longer be condoned.

?The issuing of threats of war on the Senator Douye Diri-led prosperity government will not be accepted at all. Every stout-headed monster will be vehemently resisted.

?The sound warning is that any Ijaw sons and daughters who participate in any deceptive rally are bringing curse upon themselves, thereby advised to steer clear on what will damage their lives.

?Henceforth, any anti Ijaw activity designed to disturb the peace of the Ijaw nation will be vehemently opposed by the Reformed Supreme Egbesu Assembly.

?We hereby advise the Igbogene Motor Park to close down activities on the 26th of April, all business owners to shut down, and purported rally suspended indefinitely. JAMB students are advised to go and write their exams peacefully and essential services can go on. Defaulters are to pay dearly,? Jackson said.
