Senator Magnus Abe representing Rivers South-East Senatorial District in the National Assembly has faulted the Federal Government on its approach to addressing some of the challenges that propelled the late Ken-Saro-Wiwa and others to protest the injustice against the Ogonis just as he commended Governor Chibuike Amaechi over development in the area.

Speaking during a Conference/Town Hall meeting commemorating the 16th anniversary of the hanging of Ogoni 9 organised by the Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People (MOSOP) in Phoenix, Arizona, United States of America, Abe  lauded the conferees for their patriotic spirit in keeping the struggle glowing in spite of challenges bedevilling them as a people emphasising that” In the journey of life, one can create his own destination”.

The Ogoni born legislator who is the Chairman, Senate Joint Committee, Investigating the Fuel Subsidy Scheme urged the people to dissipate energy towards meaningful ventures and stressed the need for unity to attain a virile Ogoniland.

While urging Ogonis to appreciate the government of Governor Amaechi for his sincere gesture towards them, he encourage those in the’ Diaspora to visit home and, see for themselves the projects that have been inaugurated and those currently construction in the area, at the instance of the Amaechi administration.

“When you see the infrastructure our Governor is putting in place, designed to enhance the quality of life of the citizenry despite scarce resources, you will appreciate his government” he declared and assured that his presence in the Senate will be anchored on adequate consultation and meaningful engagement with the constituents.
