Former Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Chief Victor Attah, former Minister of Lands and Survey, Chief Nduese Essien, and other state caucus members at the National Conference have kicked against the recommendation of the conference to create “Oil Rivers State” from the present Akwa Ibom and Rivers States. In a protest letter addressed to the chairman of the conference, the 13 delegates from the state said the provision was now contained on page 4, line 11 of the “draft constitution” produced by the conference secretariat. According to the delegates from the oil-rich state, the proposed plan to dismember some parts of Akwa Ibom state to form an “Oil Rivers State” is not only treacherous but amounts to a hidden agenda by people whose aim might be to scuttle the final outcome of the conference. Part of the letter reads: “This action is at variance with the conference decision of the Committee on Restructuring and Forms of Government. The conference decision as correctly reflected on page 281 (b) of the draft report was that ‘the third state to be created in the South-south zone will be named later along with its state capital’. “This inclusion is a slight of hand, unholy and completely unacceptable to us as there was no prior discussion with Akwa Ibom State and her delegates on the matter.” The group said although it supported the creation of more states where deserving, the process should be in consultation with all relevant stakeholders. “As the true representatives of our state and people at this conference, we have been mandated to reject totally and disassociate ourselves and our state completely from this provision. “We assert that no part of Akwa Ibom State should be excised to form a new state,” the letter further reads. Also, Ondo State delegate, Sola Ebiseni, said the best way out was dialogue. According to him, “What this has demonstrated is the need for continuous dialogue among the constituent groups within the country. Some of the things we hold tenaciously to, we might discover at the end of the day are resolvable when there is dialogue. “The issues whether we are bringing a new draft constitution that the public thought would tear the conference apart today (yesterday) turned out to be of less importance to the conference. “This is because we discovered at the end of the day that these are issues of formality. Some of the opponents of the new draft constitution appeared to me not to be concerned with the content but with whether it is going be translated to a new constitution. “I will rather say whatever their passion is for the 1999 constitution, in my own view, it has not changed the fact that the decision of this conference has torn the 1999 constitution into shreds through most of the fundamental recommendations we have made that would turn Nigeria into a truly federal state. “At the end of the day, those who wish to stick with the status quo can keep the carcass of the 1999 Constitution because the content of our report, in term of quality, reach and objective is monumental. “The outcome of the conference today (yesterday) can be said to be victory for dialogue and victory for the Nigerian people and not for a section. “Those who thought there were centrifugal forces within the conference aiming to tear the country apart must have realised the futility of their actions because we all want to belong to a big, powerful and proactive Nigeria that would be a pride of the African continent.” Source: http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/akwa-ibom-delegates-protest-against-recommendation-for-oil-rivers-state-/186383/ |

Nctrice: This recommendation is nothing but sheer madnessIt is nothing but insensitivity, jealousy and ingratitude. The Ijaw LGAs of Eastern Obolo & Ibeno have been feeding the state for decades now without benefiting up 1% of deserved development. Yet they still want the Ijaw people to remain in slavery as minorities to Ibibio people! This is the greed Niger deltans are yet to overcome. What is wrong with sticking to their God-given lands and allow Ijaws to do whatever they wish with our God-given lands and communities? This is unimaginable evil from our own Niger Delta brothers. Ijaws have been nothing but good brothers and even protectors to all Niger Deltans. The Ijaw nation is moving forward and there is nothing these ingrates who do not even represent the mindset of the average Akwa Ibomites can do about it 3 Likes |

The proposed Oil Rivers state is purely Ijaw made up Ijaws balkanized into Rivers and Akwa ibom states WITH NO INCLUSION OF NON-IJAWS so there are no minorities for Ijaw to oppress just as in Bayelsa 2.
