MOSOP Urges Environment Ministry Not to Cause Crisis
The movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People, MOSOP,
has called
on Legborsi Pyagbara and the ministry of
environment led by the
minister not to cause crisis in
Ogoniland.
President of MOSOP, Fegalo Nsuke made the call
yesterday in Bori,
headquarter of Khana local government
area during a tour of the MOSOP
head office in
Bori.
Nsuke said MOSOP wants to make it clear that
Pyagbara is not in charge
of the organization any longer
as every claim he could make to the
presidency of MOSOP
had been lost following the expiration of his
tenure on
December 31, 2018 and therefore, the Ogoni people will
not
welcome any visit initiated by Pyagbara for the
minister or his
representatives.
Nsuke used the
opportunity to call on the Nigerian president,
Muhammadu
Buhari to caution the environment ministry noting
that
following a change in the leadership of MOSOP which
saw the
inauguration of the new executives on January 4
this year during the
annual Ogoni day, any visit of the
minister or his representatives
without the consent of
the Ogoni people could lead to a conflict and
should be
avoided.
The Ogoni people, we must say, will resist every
attempt to disregard
their decision on the leadership of
MOSOP which has been expressed by
the emergence of Mr
Fegalo Nsuke as the new president of MOSOP.
Nsuke said the
desperation of people whose tenure have expired and
yet
will want to conduct a fault cleanup is clear sign
that the Ogoni
cleanup funds is in danger.
Nsuke called
on the Ogonis to arise and defend our collective
heritage
and stop whoever wants to toy with our rights to
a dignified life.
