A group,Ogoni Liberation Initiative, OLI, has chided the Federal Government of Nigeria for forgiving and reintegration of Boko Haram terrorists that have killed innocent Nigerians, soldiers, and Army generals into society.
It also stated that “whereas Ken Saro-Wiwa and other innocent environmentalists were unjustly executed for peacefully advocating for a just cause, saying, individuals like them are not enthused about current developments, having anticipated such outcomes.”
The President /Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Fabeke Douglas,in a statement made available to The Guardian in Abuja, explicitly stated that the injustice perpetrated against the Ogoni people in general demands resolution to satiate our collective conscience.
According to Douglas, there is no superficial project can justify the resumption of oil extraction without addressing the fundamental issues in the Niger Delta and Ogoniland in particular. The only solution to this protracted problem lies in meeting the demands outlined in the Ogoni Bill of Rights, specific to Bori State.
The President/CEO argued that granting Bori State its rightful due will bring closure to this matter, while attempts to downplay the Ogoni cleanup as merely an environmental issue are consistent with tactics used to undermine other critical concerns.
“Those engaging in negotiations with the Federal Government regarding oil resumption should be reminded that without addressing the Ogoni Bill of Rights, progress will be unattainable. Failure to heed this advice may lead to more radical demand. We are watching how they want to play the game carefully.”
In a related development, Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province ISWAP have planned attacks on key locations in Abuja and Niger State, saying, they intend to execute series of coordinated operations within FCT and its environs.
