Oil Well Dispute: APC Chieftain Urges Buhari To List Kogi by Nobody: 5:44am On Oct 15, 2015 |
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and leader of a civil society group known as Kogi Concerned Citizens (KCC), Chief Sumaila Adamu Jadams has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to recognize and list Kogi State as the 11th Oil Producing State in Nigeria. He said the move will douse the hostility between the neighboring communities bordering the oil well from Kogi and Anambra states. Recall that since the commissioning of the oil exploration facilities belonging to Orient Petroleum Resources (OPR) at Aguleri-Otu, in Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State by former president Goodluck Jonathan where he declared Anambra as the 10th oil producing State, there have been constant claims and repeated agitation from the neighboring states of Kogi and Enugu that the oil deposits being explored by the company were domiciled in their territories, and not in Anambra state. Chief Jadams urged the President to use his capacity to do justice to the interminable wrangling which has become an albatross to social and economic development of the communities involved. He stressed that there is no gainsaying the fact that the said oil well is originally domiciled in Ibaji, Kogi State. He implored the President to put an end to the quandary by pronouncing Kogi as an oil producing state to douse the tensions. “It is an indisputable fact that the oil well is in Ibaji. Former President Jonathan’s pronouncement of Anambra as an oil producing State over an oil well located within boundaries of Kogi State is an error. The oil belongs to Kogi State. I beseech President Buhari to use his capacity as President to interpose and pull the plug of hostilities and violence between the contending communities,” he said. leadership.ng/news/467143/oil-well-dispute-apc-chieftain-urges-buhari-to-list-kogi-as-11th-oil-producing-state |

I gathered that most of the oil wells are in Anambra except one or two wells, which Kogi state is claiming. Relative peace has been there so far because the Nigerian governnent has not made the mistake of adding Aguleri territory to Kogi state, but if Buhari were to be foolish and hateful of Ndigbo enough to wickedly readjust the border there, the way his brothers did in the 70s to deny the Imo/Abia axis of huge oil revenues, it will lead to huge violent reaction against southern Igalaland, and will invariably be seen as an attempt by Mumu-hammadu to hurt Aguleri people because they are Igbos 3 Likes |

Best thing to do is to delist Anambra from oil producing cos it has caused more problem listing them than not. |

lincolnj88: Even if it is a single oil well that is located within the borders of Kogi state, they deserve to be listed as an oil producing and should also get the %13 derivation from the revenues that comes from the oil well. 1 Like |

Aguleri people are not wimps, and have proven their mettle in the battlefield during the Aguleri-Umuleri crisis, which has been seen as the most violent communal clash in Nigeria, thoroughly dwarfing the Ife-Modakeke child's play. 1 Like 1 Share |

Thank God the Anambra gas reserves, are not in that territory. Anambra and Imo have the largest gas reserves of any state in Nigeria and in fact, Nigeria is more of a gas-laden nation than oil-laden nation. Once gas infrastructure is developed, Anambra and Imo will invariably be the richest states in Nigeria 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Are you blind? That Anambra State is the 10th oil producing State is not under contention. What you and Kogites are asking fo is to be listed as 11th and not 10th which Anambra has occupied. abu12: |
