ASABA- GOVERNOR of
Delta State, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, weekend, set up a high-powered
Advocacy Committee, headed by the Deputy Governor, Barrister Kingsley
Otuaro, to tackle pipeline vandalism in the state.
Sunday Vanguard learned that he gave the committee marching orders to
proceed to the riverine areas of the state, especially the troubled
Gbaramatu Kingdom to speak to the people.
The Deputy Governor, Barrister Otuaro, who spoke to Sunday Vanguard on
phone, confirmed that the directive of the governor was that they
(committee) move with immediate effect.
Members of the committee include Commissioner for Youth Development,
Asupa Forteta, Commissioner for Oil and Gas, Mofe Pirah, Special Adviser
on Niger Delta Affairs, Kelly Penaowu and Special Adviser on Petroleum
Matters, Bosin Ebikeme
Others are Chairman, Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development
Commission, DESOPADEC, Godwin Ebosa, Chairman, Delta Waterways and Land
Security Committee, Chief Boro Opudu, Director Genearl, Political and
Security Services, David Tonwei and former Commissioner for Commerce and
one-time national president of the Ijaw Youth Council, IYC, Dr. Chris
Ekiyor, who will serve as Secretary.
As part of its terms of reference, the governor directed the committee
to relocate to the riverine areas and “majorly advocate for an immediate
stop of the on-going facility destruction, finding the immediate and
remote causes of resurgence of militancy and create platforms of
dialogue amongst others.”
Meanwhile, the Gbaramatu Traditional Council of Chiefs, led by Chief
Clark Gbenewei, weekend, dismissed the insinuation that the people of
Gbaramatu were behind the perpetrators of recent pipeline vandalism in
the area.
The council stated this when the members paid a courtesy call on the
Deputy Governor, Barr Otuaro, yesterday.
GTC spokesperson, High Chief Godspower Gbenekama, who commended Otuaro
on his emergence as deputy governor, said: “The perpetrators are not of
Gbaramatu Kingdom. We condemn the act of pipelines vandalism in
totality as it undermines the national and state economy and negatively
affects our livelihood.”
Gbenekama, who advocated dialogue in resolving issues, said the
Gbaramatu leadership was willing and ready to collaborate with federal,
state, local government and relevant agencies to fish out the
perpetrators of the criminal acts, found within or outside the area.
“We are with you all the way, we are in solidarity with you. We want you
to pass this message to your Principal, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and to
President Mohammadu Buhari. We have not at anytime come together to
destroy oil infrastructure, let alone when we have our son, Otuaro, as
Deputy Governor and at helm of affairs. We can only do what will make
you, Otuaro, greater,” Gbenekama posited.
