There is a fierce legal battle going on between two major Ijaw ethnic groups. The two groups are battling over a N155 million election largess from Goodluck Jonathan.

2 Ijaw ethnic groups are reportedly engaged in a fierce legal battle over N155million from President Goodluck Jonathan's last campaign.

A N155 million-election largess is at the center of a fierce legal battle between two members of President Goodluck Jonathan’s Ijaw ethnic group, SaharaReporters reports.

Wisdom Oniekpar Ikuli, the national director of mobilization and chairman of the Action Committee of the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), has sued Azibaola Robert, a lawyer and managing director/chief executive of Kakaatar Engineering Limited, formerly known as Mangrovetech Engineering Limited. The defendant is also the founder of the Good House as well as initiator of the #TheGoodluckThumb, a pro-Jonathan campaign group.

Mr. Ikuli’s lawsuit, which is filed at an Abuja High Court, alleges breach of contract by Mr. Robert. The lawsuit has been scheduled for hearing on Thursday May 28, 2015.
