AC Blames FG On Development In Niger Delta

The Rivers State Action Congress (AC) leader, Prince Tonye Princewill has described as unfortunate, the lack of political will on the part of the federal government in implementing the recommendations by the Niger Delta Technical Committee.

The AC leader made the assertion at the 18th anniversary of Ogoni Day and the commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the birth of MOSOP in Bori, Rivers State.

He noted that the implementation of the crucial and far reaching recommendations would have settled once and for all the agitations and deprivations of the region.

Prince Tonye however called on MOSOP and others who mean well for the region not to relent in their non-violet approach to the issues affecting the region, hoping that one day, God will raise a Daniel to come to the aid of Niger Detlans.

He also used the medium to extend his hand of fellowship to Ledum Mitee, President MOSOP and other members of MOSOP, saying that they are welcome in Rivers State AC and organised opposition in the state.

He added that the ideals and visions of MOSOP tally with his own concept and vision in redressing the plights of the region.

Stating the mandate of MOSOP which among other things include, promoting democratic awareness, protecting the environment of t he Ogoni people etc, the AC leader encouraged those not familiar with the historical document of the body to shed off years of ignorance by reading it.

He called on sons and daughters of Ogoni to be proud of MOSOP, saying that through its activities the region is now better known all over the world and the salvation of both the region and the state is nearer than the time when Ken-Saro-Wiwa was  killed by the oppressive forces in the country.
