- Ifeanyi Okowa
Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, Delta State governor, has appealed to Niger Delta Avengers to stop their onslaught on oil installations in the Niger Delta region.
The governor who made the call while commissioning Jeddo/Ughoton road in Okpe Local Government Area of the state as part of activities to mark his one year in office, said that the communities in the state had been adversely affected.
He said there are more civil ways of channeling grievances rather than vandalising pipelines and endangering lives of the people.
He said, “The pipeline vandalism that is going on is very bad for Delta State, we are suffering from pollution, our communities are affected, and we are the greatest losers; our communities are impacted negatively.
“I want to appeal to our brothers who are involved in one way or the other in this vandalism to stop; we cannot destroy ourselves in order to make a point; there are more civil ways of channeling grievances which we should apply than vandalising pipelines and endangering our people.”
