Obolo pressure group under the auspices of Obolo Youth coalition demand a retraction of threats credited by the executive Governor of Akwa Ibom State against the Eastern Obolo People

It's unfortunate that what the military government did to the Ogoni's is about to repeat itself in Akwa Ibom State, this time by a democratically elected state Governor.

Obolo people deserve to sign an M .O .U. with multinationals it plays host to.
Obolo people reject the neglect and oppression from Udoms Government

abeg na wetin cus fight

Yeah! The irony is that as a sitting governor he has already taken sides with his kith and kin. It was Mkpat Enin LGA youths who demonstrated their perceived denial of employment in an oil company in Eastern Obolo LGA, blocked major roads at Ikot Akpaden Junction that Wednesday. But guess what, Udom as if afraid of those youths chose to threaten Eastern Obolo youths and people, couldn't even mention Mkpat Enin youths, not minding that Eastern Obolo as minority and long neglected area in spite of bearing much of Akwa Ibom oil has suffered the harsh effects of pollution from oil exploration and production dating back to the 1960s till date, suffered criminal attack and arson and massacre in the 1980s by law enforcement officers just for demanding government attention. That local government and her people deserve better, not the insult by any governor who could not distinguish between criminal activity of the past by few youths from the genuine demand of the people for fair treatment and protection under a valid memorandum of understanding (MOU). We know for example that Bonny has one with the LNG company and others. Eket has, so why shouldn't Eastern Obolo? Enough of the neglect and insult/negative stereotypes.
