Dr. Ojougboh who accompanied the Dein of Agbor kingdom, HRM Keagborekuzi 1, on a condolence visit to Governor Ibori in an interview with newsmen called on the Northerners and the Northern governors who went to court to ask that the onshore/offshore dichotomy abrogation Act be voided to show maturity and understanding as what they have done was a recipe and a blueprint for chaos and crisis in the country. He said that “I am in support of Governor Ibori 100 per cent and the Alabi man, I have never met him. In fact, I am just learning from you that he is from my constituency, we disclaim him, he is on his own and we know that people who are against the governor are evil. So we see him as evil and members of my political class and Ika federal constituency completely dissociate ourselves from anything he is doing. Dr. Ojougboh said the general understanding when the bill was passed was that it is a political solution, adding that “we do know that if the oil was sitting under the belly of the North, we know where we will be today and we know what they will ask for. A word is enough for the wise. We expect them to show maturity and understanding, otherwise, the reaction from the South can be untoward and you can see what is already happening.”   Home  |  Cover Stories  |  National Newsreel  |  Politics  |  Business  |  Sports  |  World  | Contact  | Advert Rates © 1998- 2004.
