No be small matter na, my people! Akwa Ibom State governor, Umo Eno, don yarn say no amount of propaganda fit change wetin Supreme Court don talk about their oil wells.
Day for Victor Attah International Airport, Eno drop this bombshell as he dey greet reporters. E no gree say Cross River State go fit contest the ownership again, because two Supreme Court judgments don make am clear who own wetin.
Na for 2008 wey Bakassi Peninsula gist scatter, Cross River come dey argue say the oil wells fit belong to dem, as dem dey cry una hear say new mapping show say 67 oil wells dey under their territory. But Eno gree say na lie, because Supreme Court don already talk say all the oil wells na Akwa Ibom own.
He even talk say, “We no dey share maritime boundary with Cross River, na with Cameroon we dey share!” Phew! E dey sure say President Bola Tinubu go continue to uphold the rule of law. Thank God, as we sabi say no law dey wey person fit just throway because he wan make mouth.
Eno don advised the people make dem cool down, say no be the time to panic, as claim wey Cross River dey run with no get any backing. E come they ask, “Why dem no come dey shout about these sentiments before? Wetin change now? We dey talk fact here.”
He continue say, “I believe say this matter na about established facts, e no be sentiment matter. If na sentiment, then na our own own dem suppose waka come collect plenty Ibibio-speaking villages wey belong to us.” Abeg, Eno sabi how to make dem see clear!
And for the matter wey no be joke, the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission don quickly jump enter to support Akwa Ibom, say claim wey Cross River dey spread say dem get the wells na fake news, misleading and wetin we fit call local talk.
As Eno dem ready to fight dem wahala well, he don close with, “Our President dey respect law, so everything go dey alright.” Make we grab popcorn and dey watch the show unfold for that side, no be so?
