ADVERT RATE

Ijaw Rights advocates and Ex-militant youths drawn from the Nine States of the Niger Delta region under the Movement For The Survival of the Izon Ethnic Nationality in the Niger Delta (MOSIEND) yesterday sent a warning letter to the Governors from the region and the Federal Government over the need to re-negotiate the agreement reached on the peaceful exploration of oil and gas resources in the region.

According to MOSIEND, though there is rising anger in the region over reported issues of Zamfara state free and direct rights to sell mined Gold to the Central Bank of Nigeria, the people of the region have called on the Niger Delta Governors to start negotiating directly with the oil and gas producing companies to pay all royalties to their various states and communities of operations or leave the Niger Delta region.

MOSIEND, in a statement sent to NAIJA LIVE TV at the weekend through its National Secretary, Amb. Winston Cotterel Amain, said the State Governors, National Assembly members and the Federal Government should be aware that the oil producing communities have risen to the new challenges in the country and warned that the oil exploration companies should leave the region because their safety can no longer guaranteed.”

According to Amb. Winston Cotterel Amain,”the people in the South-South region and Niger Delta, as a whole, have been called fools for too long by the Nigeria Government. We urge all Niger Delta Governors to start negotiating with oil and gas producing companies to pay all royalties to their various states and communities of operations or leave the Niger Delta region, for safety cannot be guarantee anymore”.

“We can recall that the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, is demanding to buy gold in Zamfara state of five billion naira, as such the MOSIEND scribe wondered why the gold in Zamfara state belongs to Zamfara state and the oil and gas belongs to the federal government”.
