itsekiri gives 7 Days ultimatum to Delta state government to abolish the passed Desopadec bill or face criminal action.
The ultimatum was given yesterday at a press briefing in warri by Chief Rita Lori Ogbebor.
Chief Rita Lori Ogbebor has threatened
to institute legal criminal action against Delta
State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa if the
State Chief Executive do not reverse the amended
DESOPADEC bill he signed Tuesday August 18 at
Asaba on his return from a foreign trip.
The boisterous Itsekiri Chief who doubles as
Patron/ Mother of Host Communities of Nigeria
Producing Oil and Gas handed down the threat
Wednesday August 19 at the Rewane Villa in
Warri during a media briefing organized by the
Itsekiri Chapter of Host Communities of Nigeria
Producing Oil and Gas.
She declared that the governor has no right to
“take money from Local Government allocation or
derivation money”, adding that the 1999
constitution supersedes any law passed by the
Delta State House of Assembly.
According to Chief Ogbebor, the average amount
that comes to Delta State monthly as derivation
is N 5 billion and there is nothing to show for the
living condition, rather people of the Host
Communities are getting poorer by the day.
She gave governor Okowa seven days from
Wednesday August 19 to reverse the new
DESOPADEC bill or face criminal action in court
