DELTA State Governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, Thursday,
appealed to militants blowing up oil installations in the state to reconsider
their actions, as bombing of oil facilities by them was affecting the state.
The governor made the call while commissioning Jeddo/Ughoton
road in Okpe local government area of the state, as part of activities to mark
his one year in office.
He said: “The pipeline vandalism that is going on is very
bad for Delta State, we are suffering from pollution, our communities are
affected, and we are the greatest losers; our communities are impacted
negatively.”
“I want to appeal to our brothers who are involved in one
way or the other in these vandalism to stop, we cannot destroy ourselves in
order to make a point, there are more civil ways of channeling grievances which
we should apply than vandalizing pipelines and endangering our people,” he
asserted.
