Ayade Slams UN, FG For Ceding Bakassi

Says no amount of dollars can assuage C/
River

Cross River State Governor, Senator Ben
Ayade on Friday chided the United Nations
and the Federal Government for ceding the
oil-rich Bakassi Peninsular to the Republic
of Cameroon without seeking the consent of
the people through a plebiscite.

Ayade, who
stated this while receiving the Country
Representative of United Nations High
Commission for Refugees, Mrs. Angele
Dikongue Atangana in his office in Calabar,
said the people of the state were still angry
over the ceding of the peninsular.


He said the ceding of the peninsular was
done without a plebiscite, thus unjustly
depriving the people of their ancestral home
and turning them into refugees in their own
land. The governor, who struggled to hold
back emotions, said: “Your commission is
undertaking a worthy and noble cause.

I
thank you for your humanitarian assistance
and expression of emotion, but the people
are angry in the way and manner they have
been treated. They have been deprived of
their heritage and livelihood.”


According to the governor: “The people of
Bakassi were not given the opportunity to
choose where they would want to belong
and I am telling the United Nations that this
is an unsettled issue and no amount of dol­
lars can settle the issue. The people have
now been split between Cross River and
Akwa Ibom as well as Nigeria and
Cameroon. As the agony of the people
continues, their plight cannot be wiped away
by dollars.


“Take it that the people feel very disturbed
and unhappy and if this had happened in
any other part of the world, there would have
been war today. This is totally unacceptable
and is not done in the modern society.
Today, Cross River is traversed by internally
displaced persons, who are refugees in their
own state”, he said.


Continuing, the governor said: “The
displaced people of Bakassi are suffering and
if United Nations had anything in mind, it
should have started from there and if
anything needed to be treated as an
emergency, it is the Bakassi because the
people live in such sub-human condition.
The state will work hard to strengthen things
and we will partner the commission to
achieve its aims.”


Earlier, Angele Dikongue Atangana, had
commended Cross River for accommodating
refugees from Cameroon and said the com­
mission was touched by the plight of the
displaced persons of Bakassi, adding that
while everything is being done to ensure the
resettling of the Cameroonians in their
country of origin, the Commission would
collaborate with the state to make life
comfortable for the people of Bakassi who
are internally displaced in the state.


Atangana explained that the Commission
spent about $200,000 in the first half of
2013, and that it has worked out modalities
to introduce vocational training for the
people with the assistance of development
partners as a means of giving them a sense
of livelihood, saying that they should not be
seen as stateless people but be recognised
as citizens or nationals of Nigeria who are
rightly settled in their motherland.[img] Says no amount of dollars can assuage C/

No true nation ever secedes its territory to another. NEVER.

My bro, FG did everything to capture bakassi, but we lost out at world court. UK was not in support of nigerian because we had the hearing of the case in USA. The people belong to nigeria. The journey started during Gen Gowon regime, then oil.wasn't discovered then, nigeria did not pay much attention to the mater arising then. During OBJ regime its well known that they now have oil, Cameroon took that advantage.

Please, if you are ignorant of something, it is best you shut up rather than spewing garbage.

The Ota Baboon was the culprit who shamelessly gave part of Nigeria to Cameroon.
