PRESS STATEMENT

*THE UNFORTUNATE CRISIS AT THE MECHANIC VILLAGE IN UYO, AKWA IBOM STATE*

The National Association of Seadogs - Pyrates Confraternity, Sancta Riviera Deck (Uyo Chapter) condemns in its entirety, the unfortunate clash at mechanic village in Uyo Local Government Area that led to the crisis of the 30th of September, 2022.

The said premises is known to host a large population of peoples from across Nigeria who deal on various spare parts and repairs of all sorts of vehicles, alongside indeginous people. The clash as revealed by investigations originated from a misunderstanding between an indeginous person and a non-indigene as to the use of space. It is said that the misunderstanding degenerated to heated arguments and an unfortunate infliction of bodily injury on one party, a situation that escalated a serious crisis which led to more injuries and wanton destruction of properties of immense value.

As an association committed to the fight against all forms of ethnicity and tribalism where it is deployed negatively, we are poised to respond to this ugly incident which tended towards ethnicity.

It is quite unsettling that at a time when we are supposed to be promoting unity and taking advantage of our collective uniqueness as a people, some unscrupulous elements are still pushing the frontiers of war inspired by ethnic/tribal sentiments.

While it may not be out of place for brothers to disagree, when such disagreements ferry along with it, biases upon tribe, colour or race, such repugnant tendencies must be immediately repudiated by all and not made a trend by bloggers/social media users.

As an association known for the promotion of humanistic ideals, we appeal to all those concerned to sheath their swords and seek ways to reconcile all differences. We believe in the oneness of all humans and that devoid race and creed we all bleed red.


We call on the management of the Mechanic Village to initiate the process of reopening the premises for full scale daily business while also evolving measures to mitigate the effects of the losses recorded by those directly affected.

While commending the effort of the security operatives who were on hand to calm the situation, we wish to appeal to the State Government to render support to those who have been negatively hit by the unfortunate circumstance.

We therefore call on all Nigerians to say no to all forms of ethnicity and tribalism, as it has for far too long proven moribund and counter-productive.
