Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, has called on traditional rulers and leaders of the Niger Delta to intervene in the ongoing insecurity and pollution of the region by militants under the aegis of the Niger Delta Avengers.
Governor Oshiomhole said this when he received a delegation from the National Assembly led by the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremmadu.
The federal lawmakers were in Benin City, the Edo State capital to condole with the Benin Kingdom over the death of the Oba of Benin, Omo N’oba N’Edo Uku Akpolopkolo Erediauwa I.
Governor Oshiomhole noted that the people of the Niger Delta were primarily those who would suffer the effect of the ongoing pollution as a result of pipeline vandalism.
He also maintained that the ongoing insecurity would scare current and intending investors from the region.
