The Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) has strongly opposed clandestine efforts by certain chiefs to impose an oil company on the Ogoni community……….CONTINUE READING

According to MOSOP, these actions go against the desires of the Ogoni people to participate in decisions regarding oil exploration in their region.

Fegalo Nsuke, the president of MOSOP, expressed these sentiments in a statement released on Thursday in Port Harcourt. He emphasized that the chiefs advocating for Geoplex Drillteq Limited as the chosen oil company lack the genuine support of the Ogoni people, making their endorsement likely to fail.

Nsuke criticized the scheduled meeting between these chiefs and representatives of Geoplex Drillteq Limited, slated for Saturday, May 25, 2024, at Birabi Memorial Grammar School in Bori, Ogoni. He labeled this meeting as futile, stressing that the Ogoni community does not endorse the company’s involvement in oil production in the region.

Additionally, Nsuke cautioned against resorting to force to compel Ogoni people to support this move, asserting that dialogue remains the most appropriate approach in a democratic society to address such issues effectively.

MOSOP also urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to initiate a sincere dialogue process to facilitate a peaceful resolution that benefits all parties involved and the nation at large.

Despite challenges, MOSOP encouraged the people of Ogoni to remain peaceful and law-abiding, emphasizing their determination to progress and benefit from their natural resources.

Furthermore, MOSOP demanded the establishment of an Ogoni Development Authority (ODA) to ensure a fair allocation of resources for Ogoni’s development.

In conclusion, MOSOP distanced itself from the planned meeting endorsing Geoplex Drillteq Limited, reaffirming their rejection of the company’s involvement in oil and gas production in Ogoni due to concerns about its conduct resembling the oppressive tactics of Shell.
