A rights activist, Chief Rita Lori-Ogbebor has called on the people of the Niger Delta region of the country to hold their state governors responsible for the underdevelopment and disasters in their states saying the level of development in most of the state are not commensurate with the resources accruing to the states including the 625 billion naira derivation refunds recently paid to them by the Federal Government.
At a press conference to appraise the state of the nation in Lagos, Lori-Ogbebor accused the governors of mismanagement of the state’s resources saying Some of these governors have enormous resources at their disposal but lack the vision on how to develop their states and boost the economic prosperity of their states and the Niger Delta areas have problems.
Lori-Ogbebor urged the nation’s electorate to scrutinize those contesting election into various positions and elect credible candidates with vision and can marshal original ideas to develop the country as It will take a man who has a totally good image and holistic concept to know the direction the nation will go.
She urged the National Orientation Agency to wake up from its seeming slumber and perform its function of sufficiently mobilizing citizens to act in ways that promote peace and harmony in the country.
Lori-Ogbebor pointed out that the local governments in the country have failed to promote rural development and facilitate education of the people in grassroots. LEADERSHIP
