North revenue demand immoral – Group February 27, 2012 by Chukwudi Akasike, Port Harcourt 35 Comments A group known as the Concerned Advocates for Good Governance has described as immoral, the agitation by northern governors for a review of the sharing formula of oil revenue. CAGG warned that the call for equity in oil derivation could overheat the polity and called on the northern governors to desist from it. Speaking with THE PUNCH in Port Harcourt on Saturday, the National Coordinator of the group, Mr. Olusegun Bamgbose, explained that the Niger Delta had gone through a lot of deprivation in the past and deserved more funds than the northern states. Bamgbose, who is a lawyer, described the oil derivation accruing to oil bearing states as statutory, adding that the north should be grateful to the Niger Delta for producing the wealth of the nation. Explaining that the country was still battling with the menace of the Boko Haram sect, he noted that it would be wrong for any persons to begin to talk about the sharing formula of oil revenue. He said, “The agitation in oil derivation is immoral, unethical and unreasonable. If you don’t want the giver, then you have to despise his gift. They (northern governors) should not overheat the polity.” |

Where was this group when the SW so called leaders made the same clarion call weeks ago? There is too much money at the center and this is unfortunate. Until a true SNC is conveyed where the basis and details of our co-existence is itemised, the wealth of the few unfortunately will have to be shared for all to consume. that is the reasoning behind this present structure. |
