Prominent Niger Delta activist and Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Ayirimi Emami has admonished youths, especially those from the South- South geopolitical zone to join the President Muammadu Buhari administration in the fight against pipeline vandalism, crude oil theft, sea piracy and illegal bunkering, saying the activities of the vandals are sabotaging the socio-economic growth of the country.
Chief Emami gave the advice Thursday March 17 at his private residence in Warri, Delta State during a chat with newsmen to formally flag off his new campaign targeted at mobilizing Youths against vandalism of crude oil and gas pipelines, sea piracy and destruction of electricity lines.
While noting that his struggle in the past for people of Niger Delta to get their fair share in the allocation or sale of Oil Mining Leases, OMLs was frustrated as a result of corruption, political patronage and sharp practices by past administration, he explained that the recent blasts of Escravos Gas and Crude oil pipelines in Warri South-West Local Government Area, Delta State has made the movement of refined products from Warri to Benin, Ore and other parts of the country very difficult, thus draining the Nation’s economy of its scarce resources.
Chief Emami opined that monies spent for the repairs of damaged pipelines will be better channelled into infrastructure expansion and diversification, hence creating the enabling environment for genuine socio-economic, industrial as well as agricultural development.
