The Vice President of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo made a revelation during his visit to the Olu of Warri in Delta State: “I admit and agree with the Olu that I am an in-law to the Itsekiri nation by virtue of my marriage to my wife. The Federal Government is in a haste to bring lasting solution to the unrest in the Niger Delta region so that peace can prevail. It is only in peace that the government can achieve success in its determination to bring rapid development to the area.”

“The Federal Government must complete the Lagos/Calabar rail project in no distant time and China is currently collaborating with the Federal Government to complete it. Demand for oil has fallen as US, UK and other developed nations have seen other alternatives to fuel energy. China now has electrically-driven vehicles.”

“The cause of underdevelopment in Niger Delta is because of corruption of its leaders and politicians, up till now. The future is now, so the Federal Government should be encouraged to develop the area by stopping all forms of crime against oil facilities and federal government installations/institutions in Niger Delta.”
