The Niger Delta Indigenous Movement for Radical Change ,NDIMRC, has warned American oil giant, Chevron Nigeria Limited not to incite the peace-loving people of Gbaramatu Kingdom in Warri South-West local government area of Delta State against themselves , vowing to disrupt the existing Global Memorandum of Understanding ,GMoU, with the Egbema and Gbaramatu Communities Development Foundation ,EGCDF should the company ignore the warning.
The group made it clear that any attempt by the Policy, Government and Public Affairs department of Chevron to instigate the peace-loving Gbaramatu people against themselves would be highly resisted by all means possible, alleging that the action of the company in the past cost the lives of three youths in the kingdom and would not want a repeat.
According to the group, the company is applying divide and rule tactics in Gbaramatu Kingdom, which will not be accepted any longer.
In a press statement, signed by the its President, Nelly Emma, Secretary, John Sailor and Public Relations Officer, Mukoro Stanley, the group frowned at what it described as undue interference of Chevron, especially its Policy, Government and Public Affairs Department in the affairs of Gbaramatu Kingdom and vowed to halt the operations of the company in the days ahead.
Specifically, the Niger Delta Indigenous Movement for Radical Change said it was not happy with Chevron’s insistence on an imminent Memorandum of Understanding , MoU , with the Egbema and Gbaramatu Communities Development Foundation ,EGCDF, in both Warri North and Warri South-West local government areas of Delta State.
The statement reads in part; “We are not comfortable with the position of Chevron Nigeria Limited(CNL) in the MoU with EGCDF because those the company are using to tear our communities apart are selfish leaders not representing the interest of the masses and therefore Chevron should not hold any negotiation with themas far as the MoU is concerned.”
According to the group, “Since the MoU has been in existence for the past six years, Chevron has been conniving with these selfish leaders and their action has led to the untimely death of our three (3) promising young men. We are not in a hurry to forget the incident at Abiteye flow station four years ago when one of our youth was killed by JTF due to oil spillage money and also the company caused the death of two (2) of our youths two years ago at Escravos and now the company has started instigating the people again to cause problem; let those who have served six years leave and Chevron must stop sponsoring the people of the oil-rich region particularly those in the Gbaramatu axis against themselves, the constitution of the Kingdom is there to guide the people.”
