A group, Ogoni Liberation Initiative (OLI) has said that Ogoni ethnic nationality will soon declare its position on the 2023 governorship race in Rivers State.
President of the group, Fabeke Douglas, while speaking at a programme in Bori on Sunday, said Ogoniland has not benefitted from the state economy.
He maintained that the ethnic nationality would take a stand on the 2023 governorship election in the state soonest.
“We have not been benefiting from the government of Rivers State, apart from that fact that government has the duty to provide roads. But, if you look at the area of employment, and government projects in Ogoni, we are zero.
“And so, we are going to decide after today. We have not decided. On April 9, I will be in Ikwerreland to address some of the politicians. And I will tell them about our minds concerning the 2023 elections. So, we are going to decide that day.”
He noted that Ogonis would not continue to be sidelined in the commonwealth of the state, urging natives to form a common front in order to achieve the desired mandate in 2023.
