Oro Youth Movement, a foremost Civil Rights Organization in Akwa Ibom State, has warned the state government to stop further action aimed at delineating any of the boundaries of Oro nation in the name of remapping saying such attempt would be resisted with the 'last drop of our blood'
“The timing of the entire process, the quick passage of the said bill and the resolve of the state governor to assent to the bill irrespective of public outcry suggest something extraordinary.“It is very surprising that in a purely democratic setting, an elected governor can flout the rule of law by ignoring court orders on this vexed issue.“It would be recalled that a High Court in the state presided over by Hon Justice Edem E.
“It is therefore in the light of the foregoing, that we hereby warn in strong terms that any attempt to tamper with, delineate or remap/redraw the boundary of Mbo, or any local government in Oro Nation shall be vehemently resisted with the last drop of our blood”All rights reserved.
