Speaking further, Comrade Mike Tiemo added: “Let me make a humble appeal to His Excellency, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to pay a working visit to tour these Riverine Communities to have a first hand on the spot assessment to ascertain the deplorable situation facing the inhabitants who are living in the pilluted environment of oil exploration, exploitation, and exportation.
Comrade Mike JK Tiemo, the group’s President, who seized the opportunity to sue for peace amongst the various ethnic nationalities, said: “It is worthwhile and necessary for me at this juncture to call on Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to meet or talk with his counterpart, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, to imnediately call on those llajes who are trying to create a vacuum of controversies to call back the already gone communal crises between the ljaws and llajes in Delta and Ondo States to desist from such naferious actions which is caple of snowballing in chaos and anarchy.”
The Niger Delta Humanitarian boss remarked further saying: “The ljaws and the llajes have a common boundary in the sea (Offshore) right from accient which is not nascent to be disputed but as a matter of fact, the communities or the of ljaws of Opuama, Tsekelewu, Polobubo lkpalakpalabogbene, Tubugbene Opuekeuba, Ajagbene,Tububiri, etc are all in Egbema Kingdom, in Warri North Local Government Area in Delta State but not in Ondo State as alleged by the misinformed or misled talebearers who are indigenes of Ondo State.
He advised that the focus and candid position of Niger Deltans, should be how to better the lot of the oil producing communities who are suffering untold effects of the activities of oil exploration and it’s devastitating effect.
In summation he said: “Supplimentrirly, l want to state unequivocally that the 3 Percent PIA, Which is the Petroleum lndusrtry Act, in my own estimation is
is not commensurate to mitigate the effects, rather l see it as the total denial of the heir apparent of the inhabitants of the Niger Deltans, hence my appeal remains centered on how we can all move the Niger Delta forward with our collective effort in one accord.”
