Akwa Ibom delegates
protest creation of 'Oil
Rivers State'

FORMER Governor of Akwa
Ibom State, Obong Victor
Attah, former minister of
Lands and Survey, Chief
Nduese Essien and other
Akwa Ibom State
delegates to the National
Conference have protested
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 is 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.
"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,"
part of the letter read.
The group said, although
it was not against 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.

This must utterly be resisted,by Akwa ibomites.Any atttempt to corner Akwa Ibom offshore oil well in ibeno,thereby depriving them of hug petrodollars,by the ijaws,will be one of the worst evil against humanity.

Every lover of Justice,equity and fairness,must arise and condemn this intoto.

Injustice,to one anywhere in the world,is injustice to all!!!

Which one come be Oil Rivers state?

IdeeEsperanza: Which one come be Oil Rivers state?

Me i tire for the name self.
But whatever they like,let them answer,but mine beef is about the plot,to render Akwa ibom useless economically,by annexing her major oil bearing L.G.A,(Ibeno),which the Ijaws has been laying claim to,into the so called oil rivers state,through the back door.
