Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People, MOSOP, has asked the Federal Government to address the injustice against the Ogoni people, adding that the Federal Government was not committed to the development of the area.
MOSOP also regretted that people of the area are still living in pain and poverty, despite the fact that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration had raised the hope of the people.
In a statement, yesterday, in Port Harcourt, the spokesman of MOSOP, Mr. Fegalo Nsuke, said: “At the inception of this administration, we had anticipated some relief for the Ogoni people not only because the new president had during his campaign pledged to implement the clean-up of Ogoniland but had expected that the clean-up will open discussions on crucial issues affecting Ogoni.
