RIGHTS activist, Chief Rita Lori-Ogbebor, has called on
Delta State governor, Sen. Ifeanyi Okowa, not to honour any budget presented on
behalf of Itsekiri ethnic group by those representing the zone on the board of
Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC, until the
Olu of Warri’s administrative council committee makes its input. Lori-Ogbebor,
who is a member of the development sub-committee of the body of eminent
Itsekiri, also said that any budget that lacks the input of the members of the
council would not mean well for the development of the Itsekiri nation.
Disclosing this yesterday in Lagos, she lamented the failure to carry the
people along in the past by those representing the Itsekiri on DESOPADEC board,
which she said resulted in the underdevelopment of the reverine areas. She
further noted that should the budget as proposed by the ethnic group’s
representative be honoured, the Itsekiri oil producing communities would be
short-changed. Therefore, she wants the relevant authorities to stay action on
the budget until the members of the Olu’s administrative council committee make
their contributions in the interest of the Itsekiri nation.
