Yenagoa—Two social groups, the Young Shall Grow and the Anyao Anyaju social club of Nembe have endorsed Comr. Clever Osuma Inodu in his bid to contest the Nembe Constituency 1 Bayelsa State House of Assembly seat in the 2023 general elections.
This is coming a day after Inodu formally declared his intention to contest the assembly seat.
In a statement signed by the coordinator of Anyao Anyaju Social Club of Nembe, Mr. Ebiegberi Olali described Inodu as an illustrious son of Okoroma Kingdom who has performed well in his role as the chairman of Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Central Zone. 
Olali noted that Inodu is fit for the assembly job and rallied support for him from all Nembe people. 
According to him, “Comrade Clever Osuma Inodu is our son, from Okoroma Kingdom. Before now, we have resolved to mobilize support for a son of Okoroma Ibe and we have found Clever as one who is the best fit for the job, following his unblemished track record as Chairman, Ijaw Youth Council Central Zone”.
“I call on all sons and daughters of Nembe to support their son who is from Okoroma clan in the forthcoming 2023 Bayelsa State House of Assembly elections.” 
“While every ambition is legitimate, let it also be on record that, since 1999 the people of Ogbolomabiri have produced legislators who indeed represented us very well in the Bayelsa State House of Assembly. But none of the two former lawmakers aspired for a third term.
“We want to state categorically that we are not ready to fight anybody physically, but our strength lies in our numbers, to mobilize and support our own.” 
Similarly, the coordinator of the Young Shall Grow Club, Mr. Mike Amadanyo in a statement said the political aspirations of Clever Inodu is an “Okoroma project.”
He made a case for the PDP to zone its Nembe Constituency I ticket to Okoroma for equity and fairness.
“This is an Okoroma project. Leaders who have been in the Bayelsa State House of Assembly are also supporting this project. 
“They did very well while in the House of Assembly. Their followers have also agreed that the PDP ticket for Nembe constituency I will be zoned to Okoroma Ibe for equity, fairness and justice,” he stated.
A member of the group, Prince Rawlings David commended Inodu for taking the bold step to join the assembly race.
He appreciated Inodu for identifying with the club and recognizing its importance in the actualization of his political aspirations. 
Mangrovepen.ng gathered that the two groups also pledged their support for the second-term aspirations of the Bayelsa state governor, Senator Douye Diri. 
Members of the groups said they have never failed as Okoroma people, hence must support the reelection bid of Governor Diri.
