Group Seeks Implementation Of Subsidy Probe Report
As the oil subsidy probe Saga continued to
generate reactions from well meaning citizens of Nigeria, a group of Rivers
youths under the aegies of Concerned Rivers Youths has called on the Federal
Government to fully implement the oil subsidy probe report.
The youths, numbering over 200 who
undertook a peaceful protest march along the streets of Port Harcourt to press
home their demand for the second time in two weeks said there should be no
sacred cows and that all those indicted by the Committee should be prosecuted
without fear or favour.
The placard carrying protesters also called
on the Federal Government to investigate the oil subsidy fund from 2006 to
date, in order to ensure that all culprits were brought to book as economic
saboteurs.
Briefing newsmen during the protest march,
a youth leader, Comrade Biokpo Raymond George insisted that until the report of
the House of Representative Panel on Subsidy is implemented, Rivers youths
would continue their protest march.
Comrade George reiterated the need for the
probe to cover activities of the subsidy fund from 2006 when it all started,
adding that the various deeds meted out to the people of Nigeria and indeed
Niger Delta region should not be swept under the carpet.
He blamed the past leaders of the country
for the various challenges facing the nation today, and appealed to the present
generation of leaders to right the wrongs in the interest of the country and
its growth.
Some of the placards read thus: “Probe 2006
to now”, “For the sanity of this nation; let the probe continue”, “Subsidy
Probe: “we want more”.
