Oshiomhole Blames PDP For Tension In N-delta by ZYZZA: 7:25am On Jan 20, 2016
BENIN—GOVERNOR Adams Oshiomhole of Edo
State, yesterday, regretted that the current
tension in the Niger Delta was created by the
immediate past Peoples Democratic Party, PDP-
led administration through the empowerment of
people he described as “wrong guys who
showed capacity for violence.”
He urged the new Minister of Niger Delta
Affairs, Pastor Usani Uguru and the Minister of
State, Niger Delta Affairs, Prof. Claudius
Daramola to reform the ministry, saying, “You
have a huge challenge due to the disastrous
performance of your predecessors under the
last PDP government which made more noise
about the Niger Delta than work.
“They empowered the wrong people because
they showed capacity for violence and then
ignored the real people who were peaceful, who
just wanted development. Therefore, you have a
huge task to bring development and carry out
massive reforms for our people and you need to
re-enlighten our people to recognise that the
long term challenge of bringing prosperity to
our people will not necessarily continue to be
driven by intervention agencies, it has to do
with creating jobs and making the region
peaceful.”
Oshiomhole spoke when the new leadership of
the Niger Delta Ministry, led by the minister,
Pastor Uguru, paid him a courtesy visit at
Government House, Benin City.
Uguru, who spoke earlier, said: “We are in the
state to assess the progress in the Niger Delta
states. It is our position that we should not
begin projects in the state without the
knowledge, commitment and collaboration of
the home government because this will help us
in future planning to agree even before we
propose any project.
“We want to channel our resources in a way
that will be best utilized so as to avoid wastage.
We are also going to take priorities very
seriously, we will put resources where they will
be optimally utilized.”
Oshiomhole further admonished the ministry to
pay serious attention to the issue of
environmental degradation. “I am very worried
about the damage to the environment by major
oil companies that are allowed to flare their gas
even in the 21st century. The technologies are
there. It is possible to convert the gas we are
wasting away to resources for our country,” he
said.

Osho is the greatest political comedian in the fourth republic. He is a born JOKE, never to be taken seriously.
