 Tension Rises in Ogoni Over MOSOP’s Exclusion from Oil Exploration Talks


A potential crisis is brewing in Ogoni, Rivers State, following the alleged exclusion of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) from ongoing consultations regarding oil exploration.


MOSOP President, Fegalo Nsuke, warned that neglecting the group’s input could spark unrest reminiscent of the 1990s crisis in the oil-rich region. While urging Ogoni people to maintain peace, he assured them that the issues surrounding oil resumption would be resolved for the benefit of both the people and the Federal Government.


Speaking at a meeting with MOSOP kingdom coordinators in Bori, Nsuke criticized the Federal Government’s approach, stating it contradicts President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s directive for an inclusive process. He accused certain individuals of prioritizing personal gain over the interests of the Ogoni people and misleading the president.


“The president directed consultations with all stakeholders, but instead, some are manipulating the process for selfish reasons. We seek development, not conflict, and we trust that a democrat like Tinubu will not allow another era of Ogoni killings,” Nsuke stated.


He emphasized that MOSOP, which played a key role in the fight against Shell’s operations in Ogoni, must not be sidelined in discussions about oil resumption. He called on President Tinubu to intervene and ensure an inclusive and transparent process that restores trust among the people.
