PIB: Niger Delta groups threaten showdown over Reps’ approval of 3% for host communities

The Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People also warned that the PIB had the capacity to generate conflict with host communities, urging the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , not to sign the bill into law.

He said, “Since our appeal as the leadership of the Ijaw nation appears to have fallen on deaf ears, we cannot promise or guarantee that we shall be able to contain any recourse to restiveness that could arise in Ijaw land.” According to him, the walkout by the legislators further expressed the dissatisfaction of the Ijaw people with the insensitivity of the Federal Government and multinational oil companies, despite the fact that they bore the brunt of oil exploration and loss of livelihoods.

“Whereas we thought the PIB offered a veritable opportunity for the leadership to redress and pacify our people by hearkening to our petitions and cries of marginalisation and underdevelopment, the recent decision by the Senate of the Federal Republic to allocate a paltry three per cent to the Host Communities Trust Fund has poured fuel on an already combustible situation.”

Toothless Bulldogs.

People should take action let them know they mean business. It's niger Delta's fight the whole nation can't fight for themselves only themselves! They should wake up and challenge those fat Bigot calling themselves senators and representatives

So so threat and that's all. Abeg make person hear word.

stop these empty threats and take action. enough of the noise, act on threats NOW

Tired of all these threats, actions speak louder. And why will you be asking for 10 percent or 25 percent? The host communities should take 30 percent and the so-called frontier states 0 percent, let heavens land on the ground. If they refuse, then start blowing up everything..

Toothless bulldogs. Bunches of foolish tribes.

Lazy people always threatening
