MOSOP flays non-inclusion of Bori State The proposal for creation of 18 additional states by the national conference for creation has continued to receive condemnation as some ethnic nationalities are already kicking against none protection of their interest in the new order. The Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) on Wednesday condemned what it called “the deliberate omission of Bori State” in the list of new states recommended by the Conference. It called on the confab to review the list to include Bori State, describing the exercise as a biased approach by the majority and the privileged to perpetually silence the Ogoni people. President of MOSOP, Legborsi Saro Pyagbara, said MOSOP is “aware that Bori State met all the requirements handed down by the Confab and had been listed initially, only to be de-listed afterwards in questionable circumstances. “Over 70 per cent of the recommended states are not viable and would as usual; depend on resources from the Ogoni region for survival.” With abundant mineral and other resources, Bori State in all ramifications stands a better chance of thriving and surviving than the ones considered. “We thus passionately call on the Confab to rescind its decision and enlist Bori State,” he stated.
