Activist Faults CBN’s Gold Order To Zamfara

A Niger Delta activist and former president of the Movement for the Survival of Izon Ethnic Nationality in Niger Delta (MOSIEND), Elder Marshall Okorigba, has picked holes in the request made by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to Zamfara State to supply gold worth over N5 billion.
He has also called for the implementation of the 2014 Confab reports to enable Nigeria restructure towards true federation.
Elder Okorigba, who made this known in Port Harcourt during a media interaction at the weekend, noted that there was an urgent need for restructuring.
According to him, the Niger Delta region has been producing oil and gas for decades and no state in the region had such order to supply anything relating to oil products to federal government.
“Current issue of CBN asking Zamfara State to supply gold worth over N5 billion is unacceptable to us, and we will try to bring every group in the region to deliberate on this.
“MOSIEND has existed for over 20 years since its inauguration in 1993 and is grassroot based. We have worked with late Ken Saro-Wiwa, and had tried to bring all youth groups in Iraq together.
“Our focus now is to synergise with other groups in the region to have a common voice. We took a position in the water bill that was brought up before the National Assembly, we opposed it, and thank God it has been stepped down.
“We need to dialogue on issues confronting this nation, and we must talk and get things settled. We need to restructure the country “, he said.
The activist commended the youths for the #EndSARS protests and urged the government to do the needful.
