Comr. Jonathan stated this during his presentation of his stewardship account of his two years leadership as President General of Ibruvwe Development Union (IDU), stressing that, the major reason why the Union has not move to greater heights, is as a result of the series of Court and Police cases between some members of the Union and the executive.

According to him; “The community/family is financially down because we only depend on the Freedom To Operate (FTO), a document which they always signed with contractors to the Oil companies operating in the clan.”

“Why there is no much development and progress in the Union is because our brothers from the outside Kokori has distance themselves from any of the family activities. This is because we value money more than development. “
