Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State is very bitter and has bared his mind…

“Nigeria will divide the very day the South-South agrees to join Biafra. Some parts of Nigeria are being oppressed and peace may continue to elude us as a people.”

“Until the people in the South-South unite, they cannot move forward. Federal Character system and ethnics in the country have been grossly mismanaged by our leaders. Ethnicity is one of the biggest problems of Nigeria.”

“Unless you are from a particular tribe in this country, you cannot secure a job. Unless you have one big man somewhere, you cannot get a job. Those who control the security apparatus are Hausas. A particular tribe runs the security apparatus.”

“Hate speeches are also part of the problems of Nigeria. The crude oil in the South-South region is being used to develop every part of the country, this is denigration.”

“The gold in Zamfara State and other solid minerals in the Northern region are left only for a few “cabals” and some “generals” with their companies to mine until bandits started killing people.”

“The mineral resources in the South-South region are very attractive, peace has deluded the Niger Delta people and I blame the leaders in the area for our woes. For the security operatives to have peace in the Niger Delta, they must keep the peace, Niger Delta is a wounded territory.”
