The group, in a statement by its National Chairman, Otega Obire, said: “The Urhobo nation, as the fifth largest ethnic group in the country, has long been marginalized in the presidential amnesty programme and pipeline surveillance jobs and contracts. Even the Delta Steel Company, DSC, Aladja, that is supposed to be the only federal project in Urhoboland, has been grounded for years.”
The group in the statement, told the incoming government to create a level playing ground for bidding and allocation of contracts in the oil pipeline surveillance with particular reference to the “Urhobos who are the major host communities of oil facilities and gas plants in line with the Local Content Act.”
Calling for the speedy resuscitation of DSC to reduce unemployment and restiveness in their domain, and by extension promote the economic fortunes of the people, the militants, said: “We accepted change before the elections because we strongly believed in the capacity of the president-elect, General Muhamadu Buhari, to correct the wrongs done to us by the outgoing administration.
“We have resolved to prevail and calm all aggrieved Urhobo youths for a ceasefire after due consultation and meetings with our channels of communication with the incoming government, but it has to be quick in order to avoid a return to the dark days of militancy.”

Why in the first place should Jonathan give militant instead of the right security outfit contract to surveillance the pipeline. How many of such groups will he be able to satisfy bcos new groups will keep springing up claiming they have been marginalised. With the high level of unemployment, at this rate anyone can form a group so as to benefit from the oil pipeline surveillance contract. Hope GMB will scrap all such contract.
ReplyDeleteThis is a broke of Law and order, it is absurd to drive home demand with violence act! Am sure the incoming Government will not tolerate this act. I personally condemn this in totality, am sure the act could also lead to mass killing with the pipeline explosion, look at them scooping fuel without minding the danger inherent. May God Bless Nigeria.

ReplyDeleteDo they think Buhari will condone sabotage, NEVER!
ReplyDeleteThey better behave right, otherwise they will be treated with force, after all, there is no justification for sabotaging public infrastructure. Stupid people.
You accepted change.Did delta state vote for him?I can't remember GMB winning delta state.
ReplyDeleteMarginalization by the out going administration.Can you hear yourselves?cheap ass idiots.After receiving back end funding for years,indulging in self marginalization and filtering away your resources,you now remember at the 99th hour that you were marginalized.
I really feel Nigeria isn't ready for democracy.Try this in a military regime,I'm so angry.Ayiri and those like him stayed quiet for years,became billionaires in years and now want to start screaming marginalization.I'm so upset.and your foolish townsmen will believe this nonsense.you all should be locked up.
there they go as foolish as ever.
ReplyDeleteSo if your grouse is neglect by the present admistration, the solution then is to blow up oil installations in your state.
I wonder when these people will really grow up.
Rubbish
Rubbish! This is just stupid, I hope Buhari makes an example of you! Neglect and marginalization? Weren't we all neglected and marginalized?!
ReplyDeleteYeah & their complaints is coming in just in time. Keep destroying your land or wait for GEJ, he's almost there.
ReplyDeletePeople like this are the reason y Nigeria will remain underdeveloped.
ReplyDeleteMtewww senseless people!!!
ReplyDeleteOk o.
ReplyDeleteHave u see how they tore apart a million Dollar car-the P1? Check it out at www.naijacarlovers.blogspot.com

ReplyDeleteWell it's the toothless bulldog's tenure so you guys can do this all you want. My advice don't try this after 29th may for your own sake thank you.

ReplyDeleteHmmmmm! Apparently, the ONLY way 2 be militant is to blow something up. O.K-possibly when Oil looses relevance(and mind U,it. will. 20 - 30 yrs from now by conservative estimations) they can take 2 blowing themselves up as a show of protest. SMH
ReplyDeleteBut this is noy the right way to go about issues.
ReplyDeleteCheck out dis words "marginalization and neglect of Urhobo nation". Wht a silly excuse.
ReplyDeleteMake una take it easy oooo...
ReplyDeleteBut you people voted GEJ and now you're complaining is it because he didn't win? And you want to find favour from the incoming government.
ReplyDeleteSo it is by blowing up pipelines that development will now come. I just wonder how people reason sometimes.
ReplyDelete....& they think that's the only way to resolve the issues? Not just right.
ReplyDeleteDis pple n der wahala, must u cause chaos b4 u register ur grievances? Burning of pipeline is nt d solution bt peaceful protest or dialogue wt d govt
ReplyDeleteDis pple n der wahala, must u cause chaos b4 u register ur grievances? Burning of pipeline is nt d solution bt peaceful protest or dialogue wt d govt
ReplyDeleteHmm
ReplyDeletethe niger delta militants are a bothersome tick that needs to be quashed. just because your boy conceded victory, now you're blowing pipelines. don't worry, we won't need your oil very soon. ptsheww
ReplyDeleteI had no idea they were marginalized, I thought GEJ's program covered all militants. Good they have decided on a ceasefire and done some consultation but Threats is not the way forward plus the incoming guy is very very different from GEJ
ReplyDeleteHow will it reduce unemployment or create jobs. I think the Niger deltas should create a peaceful forum to address issues. I understand their anger,the traditional rulers and politicians should account for every penny allocated for development of these aggrieved communities rather than squander it.
ReplyDeleteThis group is an imposter. There never was a time when the urhobo gbagbako has issued a statement using a national chairman. it has always been their spokesman, priest omodjuvwu giving press release. Shameless traitors. the type the real urhobo gbagbako has been calling crumb eaters. Very soon you will meet ur untimely death at the hands Buhari whom you are trying to deceive. Go back and read the original statements of urhobo gbagbako people and u will c the sham that is dis obire otega. Now that he has claimed to be national chairman, let him come out na. The original group said that they are faceless organization. let dis national chairman come. I trust the original group that them go shoot this obire die and kill his entire family. useless traitors.
ReplyDeleteWhy did the Urhobo militant just started,why not demand from the outgoing president Goodluck Jonathan.why did we not ask from our governors first what they did with our allocation over the past years. About #16 bn every month as allocation and we want to start with violence with the President elect.GMB will not tolerate this brake down of law and order,you all talk about change did you vote for change,you all voted for PDP and now you want to complain. Make una go sit down one place jo make we hear word
