Delta State House of Assembly has
passed a resolution urging Governor Ifeanyi Okowa to urgently intervene and
stop Edo State Government from encroaching on the state under the guise of
public private partnership with Michelin Rubber Company.
The resolution followed a motion to
that effect by the member representing Ukwuani constituency in the House,
Alphonsus Ojo, seconded by Rueben Izeze, representing Ughelli South.
Ojo, in the motion brought under
matters of urgent public importance during plenary presided over by the
Speaker, Mr Monday Igbuya, said that the Edo State Government was encroaching
on Umutu land in Ukwuani Local Government Area of the state.
The lawmaker told his colleagues
that the development was already causing tension in his constituency as the
people’s lives were under threat, maintaining that urgent intervention by the
Delta State Government was needed to sustain the relative peace in the area. The motion was unanimously adopted.
