A rights activist, Chief Rita Lori-Ogbebor, has called on the people of the Niger Delta region of the country to hold their state governors responsible for
the underdevelopment and disasters their states, saying the level of development in most of the state are not commensurate with the resources accruing to the states, including the N625 billion derivation refunds recently paid to them by the Federal Government.
She said, ‘’Some of these governors have enormous resources at their disposal but they lack the vision on how to develop their states and boost the economic prosperity of their states. In our South –South, Niger Delta areas we have problems. In the Niger Delta with all the money, derivatives from the federal government are a complete disaster. The state governors should be held responsible for the underdevelopment and disaster in Niger Delta Region.
