The leadership of the Peoples Wellbeing Association (PWA) has announced its readiness to commence legal action before a high court in Abuja to stop the renewal of the pipeline surveillance contract.

The group said the action is in furtherance of its campaign for the splitting of the job to help ensure efficiency, transparency, stability and carrying all stakeholders along in their different states

The head of the Legal Unit, People’s Wellbeing Association (PWA), Comrade Aliyu Sadiq, said this in a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja.

Sadiq said that the legal action is the last effort to save the peace and stability in the Niger Delta, which has been threatened by the desperate efforts by a few individuals to use the policy of exclusion to the corner and continue tampering with collective wealth to the exclusion of others.

The legal luminary said the essence of amnesty, which was rooted in a deliberate effort for inclusion and working together with stakeholders, is being eroded by deliberate efforts by a few to hijack the benefits of the Niger Delta struggle and run others into the Atlantic

“The tension is rising in the region now over the exclusion of other stakeholders. One person can’t have it all, especially when they have shown they can’t do the job alone, hence the need to ensure stability and transparency by including other stakeholders and splitting the job

“Every state with its stakeholders is better positioned to monitor and protect critical petroleum assets that go through their zone, and for national security, we can’t entrust the whole national assets into one hand to avoid the state being at the mercy of a few,” he said.

According to him, our whole legal offensive is to ask the court to issue an injunction barring any renewal until the inclusion of all stakeholders is achieved.

Sadiq, who reiterated the group’s unalloyed support for President Bola Tinubu, saluted the uncommon reforms of NNPC Ltd GMD, Engr Bayo Ojulari.

He described the duo of President Tinubu and Ojulari as ingenious leaders whose landmark achievements have placed Nigeria in global reckoning.

The PWA legal unit Head, therefore, called for the re-election of President Tinubu not only to sustain his landmark achievements, but to drive economic transformations.
