Oil Ownership: ACF Backs Obasanjo, PANDEF, INC FUME, Say Constitution Fraudulent

The northern socio-political organisation, Arewa Consultative Forum, has disagreed with the Pan-Niger Delta Forum, the Ijaw National Congress and some civil rights groups over the ownership of crude oil in the Niger Delta.

The ACF spokesman, EMMANUEL YAWE, in an interview supported the position of former President OLUSEGUN OBASANJO that the crude oil in the Niger Delta belonged to the Federal Government not people in the region.

But PANDEF, the INC and other groups that spoke faulted the former president and supported an elder statesman, Chief EDWIN CLARK, who lambasted OBASANJO over his position on the oil in the Niger Delta.

OBASANJO had at a peace and security parley convened by the Global Peace Foundation and Vision Africa a few weeks ago attacked the National Secretary of the INC, EBIPAMOWEI WODU, over the latter’s outburst.

High Chief ANABS SARA-IGBE, speaking on Inspiration FM’s All Out Politics, said OBASANJO has always had disdain for the Niger Delta.

The former spokesman for the Pan-Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, insisted that oil belonged to the Niger Delta people.
