The NEW Associates canceled their Saturday political gathering in Yenagoa. They moved it to April 26 instead. George Turnah told reporters they changed plans after talking with Ijaw leaders.

The organization decided to avoid creating tension between rival supporters. They asked their members to stay ready for the new date later this month. Political watchers expected the original event would draw large crowds. The timing...
