FG not obligated to solve all Ogoni problems, says MOSOP president

The Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) has voiced strong support for the ongoing dialogue with the Federal Government, aiming for a lasting resolution to the Ogoni people's long-standing issues. MOSOP President Fegalo Nsuke emphasized that the objective is not for the government to solve every problem, but to establish a framework that allows the Ogoni people to manage their own development.

“

we stand to benefit substantially from the ongoing dialogue

Nsuke clarified that the focus is on creating an Ogoni-centric system capable of generating jobs, ensuring security, and addressing social challenges like health and education. "We do not need to be asking the government for jobs; we need to have a system that creates the jobs, and that is the goal of the ongoing dialogue," he stated. The aim is to secure concessions that enable Ogoni to develop its resources and receive fair benefits.

Urging the Ogoni public to remain united, Nsuke warned against manipulative information designed to undermine the dialogue process and the goodwill of the Federal Government. He highlighted that external influences are attempting to mislead the public, potentially hindering progress. "Anyone deceiving us into protesting against current dialogue does not mean well," Nsuke asserted, noting the land's potential to generate significant daily revenue.

Nsuke expressed confidence in the dialogue process, stating that the government has shown no signs of mistrust and that the dialogue committee has submitted a report. The next phase involves negotiating a favorable deal for the people. He stressed the importance of focusing on the common good and avoiding blackmail, especially after 33 years of striving for progress. "What is most important for our people at this time is to guide the ongoing dialogue process and ensure that we make the best use of it," he concluded.
