The revelation by Senator Ita Enang, representing
Akwa-Ibom North that over 80% of the oil blocs in the country are owned by
Northerners, ex- militant leader,
Alhaji Asari Dokubo has asked President
Goodluck Jonathan to immediately revoke the licences.
“We must sound it clear to our
brother, Jonathan, that if he fails to do something about it, we shall take our
destiny on our own hands,” he said.
“It’s not a threat, but a
warning to our brother to act fast.” According to the leader of the Niger/Delta
Peoples Volunteers Force, the revelation has justified the reason behind the
restiveness in the Niger Delta.
Asari said: “Can you now see
what we have been fighting for? We own the oil and we are suffering for it. Is
it a curse to have oil in our land?
