statement by Abbah Rufus
President of Orashi Peoples Assembly
RELOCATION! RELOCATION!! RELOCATION!!!
• We have cried but not heard.
• We have been displaced but not accommodated.
• Our houses have been destroyed, but not rebuilt.
• We have lost lives but not consoled.
• We have been hungry, but not fed.
Recall that for two months now, Orashi Region, comprising of Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni, Ahoada East, Ahoada West, and Abua/Odua Local Government Areas of Rivers State has been ravaged by flood, and our people internally displaced, farmland completely submerged, schools and healthcare services shut down, our people have been reduced to aquatic animals without any response from Rivers State Government. We had on 11th of October 2018 called on Gov. Wike to relocate to Orashi, to give us succour in this trying time. But were grossly neglected!
Also Recall that:
• On February 7th 2018, Governor Wike in solidarity with the people of Benue State donated a whooping sum of N200 million to victims of herdsmen attack in Benue State. But here he chose to neglect and abandon Orashi People, where the revenue of Rivers State comes from.
• And on October 20th 2018, Governor Wike also approved the sum of N400, 000 thousand for each of the 213 traders and N300, 000 thousand to others around the Fruit Garden market in Port Harcourt after the recent fire accident in the market, to enable them recoup from their losses. But chose to neglect Orashi People where the revenue of Rivers State comes from.
From the data available to us; more than 65% of Rivers State monthly Revenue comes from Orashi Region; yet our people suffer and are grossly neglected by Rivers State Government.
Having exhausted all appeal and media campaign options available to us without any response from Rivers State Government. We therefore call on all Orashi Students, Orashi Youth Groups, Women, Children and Civil Right Groups in Orashi Region, to join the leadership of Orashi Assembly as we all relocate to Government House of Rivers State; if Rivers State Government fails to attain to the plight of Orashi People.
