It is the responsibility of the governor to ensure peace, he is the chief security officer of the state. During one military administration, government appointed a sole administrator for the community who was not even from the community. This is not the first time a state government, right from military administrations, anytime there’s problem government, comes in, resolves it. “There’s absolutely no problem, the communities agreed we must move forward. In fact, the tenure has started, with five clear mandates. The letter to this effect has been issued, the Egharaja of Ugborodo was copied, the Olu of Warri was copied, the Olaja-Orori was copied. “An expanded committee has been constituted and that’s the Ugborodo Management Committee, with a year tenure, in the first instance. In short, Okowa intervened and as we speak today that issue has been resolved, dead and buried. You are aware of the efforts Okowa has put into this to resolve the matter either to expand the EPZ Committee, which was rejected. Delta state government shouldn’t hide under Ugborodo community to hijack a federal government owned or sponsored project in the Niger Delta region.Įyengho in his response said, “Whatever they (protesters) are doing there is isolated, just some jokers who believe they can just take laws into their hands. “This same set of people the state government is trying to impose were in power in Ugborodo for more than nineteen years with nothing to show for their stewardship like the PDPs in Delta state.
