OndoReporter | Orient Petroleum, Alaigba Gas quit Anambra host community amid confusion

The managements of Orient

Petroleum Plc and Alaigba Gas Power
company located at Otu-Umolum Water-side in
Ayamelum Local Government Area of Anambra
State have abandoned their natural crude oil
deposits drilling projects and deserted the host
community, amid confusion and lack of
explanation.

Governor Obiano had barely a year ago,
precisely on March 21, 2015 flagged-off the
projects with a promise that his government
would have completed work on the multi-
million naira gas plant before March 2016.
Last weekend, the company workers were seen
evacuating their construction equipment with
over 25 long vehicles out of the community
and effort to get in touch with the company’s
management proved abortive as they
maintained sealed lips.

Gov Obiano explains

However, Governor Obiano had during his
recent chat with journalists, explained that the
projects were being redesigned to tally with the
proposed Anambra Airport project whereby the
crude are harnessed and easily transported
through the Airport by air to any destination.
Meanwhile, the Chief Ralph Uwazuruike-led
Biafra Independence Movement, BIM and the
Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign
State of Biafra, MASSOB have disagreed with
the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA over
the performance of Governor Willie Obiano in
the last two years.

BIM/MASSOB, APGA

The representatives of BIM/MASSOB from
Abia, Anambra, Bayelsa, Delta, Enugu, Ebonyi,
Imo and Rivers states who converged at
Umolum, last weekend, during the funeral
ceremony of the late Mrs. Onwuoku Mocha,
mother of Chris Mocha, Biafra’s Director of
Information, scored Obiano’s government low
in terms of performance.


At the funeral ceremony which was attended
by BIM members, zonal leaders from various
districts, elders, regional administrators,
regional directors, Biafra commandoes and
deputy director of information, including some
APGA chieftains, BIM/MASSOB leaders
disagreed with APGA chieftains on the style of
governance of the Obiano-led Igbo party,
saying he has not performed.


Aside Obiano’s performance which they rated
low, Omenka also revealed that the soaring
popularity of MASSOB/BIM has already caught
the attention of western nations to the extent
that they are now contemplating to grant them
the sovereignty of Biafra to correct all the
wrongs and lopsided governance perpetrated
by the past and present governors in South
East/South South regions.
