Founder of the Odua Peoples Congress, OPC, Dr.
Fredrick Fasehun yesterday requested the President
Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to pay him
and his organisation the money owed them for the
protection of the nation’s oil pipelines.
.
.
Speaking at a quarterly interactive media roundtable
in Lagos, the national chairman of the Unity Party of
Nigeria, UPN, explained that six companies were
given the contract by the Goodluck Jonathan
administration to guard pipelines belonging to the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC.
Noting that a total of 18,000 personnel were sent to
the field out of which OPC contributed 4,000,
Fasehun lamented that his organisation was not
given a dime before the contract, adding that after
Jonathan’s exit, the contract was terminated with
nothing given to the OPC.
.
.
According to him, “We were given the contract on
March 15, 2015 and we deployed youths into the
jungle. They faced insects, snakes and other wild
animals and some of them even died. The
government did not pay us a kobo before or during
the time of the contract which ended on June 15.
.
.
“We have asked our lawyers to study the terms of
the contract. An official in the NNPC told me that we
had been paid but I told him that we had not
received a penny. We call the attention of the
powers that be to look into this. The holy books say
that a worker deserves his wage.”
.
.
Recounting that Lai Mohammed had alleged that
Jonathan gave the OPC over N2bn as mobilisation
money for the election under the guise of pipeline
protection, Fasehun urged Mohammed, who is now
the Minister of Information and Culture, to withdraw
the statement and correct the wrong impression.
.
.
“Someone who is now a minister once told
Nigerians that I collected N2.8bn. Lai Mohammed,
who I call a liar, is now the government’s
mouthpiece and he must correct that impression,”
he stated.
The OPC leader, while noting that Nigerians are yet
to see the change the APC promised during the
electioneering, said Buhari had spent over six
months in office but had failed to impress Nigerians
.
.
“Nigerians are angry today. They wanted a change
and cheered when the APC came into power but the
cheer has now become a jeer. Let the government
know that this is not the change Nigerians voted
for,” he added.
