Ogoni People Told to Resume Oil Production Before Pursuing Rivers Governorship

A Rivers Progressives' Network (RPN) has urged the Ogoni people to resume oil production in their land before seeking the office of Governor of Rivers State. The group argues that leadership must be matched with responsibility for the state's economic sustainability.

The RPN claims that the suspension of crude oil production in Ogoniland for over three decades has raised legitimate questions about equity, shared responsibility, and the economic future of Rivers State.

The group notes that while the Ogoni struggle for environmental justice is one of Nigeria's most significant human rights and environmental campaigns, it's time to focus on constructive engagement and economic cooperation.
