The leadership of ODENGENE PEOPLES MOVEMENT (OPM), congratulates the people’s Governor and his wonderful team players for the dawning of a new era in the viral economic fortune quest of Enugu State. Having been officially discovered to be blessed with large deposits of crude oil in the State’s borders with Anambra and Kogi States joint border corridors.
This proposition by our beloved Governor, for a 50-50 revenue formula among Enugu/Anambra and Kogi States to the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) on a working tour in Enugu State is a positive giant step forward for our dear state. This is because a large part of Enugu State’s territory have for so long witnessed successful exploitation of crude oil.
OPM can never lose perspective on the modest and tireless efforts of the Gov. Ugwuanyi’s Administration in creating enabling environment, as well as entrenching a viral economic future for our dear state. We equally wish to note that Enugu State is blessed beyond measure with a talented leadership icon whose response to the pressures of his job and that of the present times of which we live in, has been laced with pinpoint accurate solutions for which his contemporaries learn from and take a cue to confront their own challenges.
It is therefore, admirable and heartwarming that this delegation from the RMAFC was in Enugu State for an interactive session with the members of the State EXCO, on the review of the existing revenue allocation formula in the spirit of equity, justice and fairness. This is quite imperative and timely for the realities of laying a good foundation for the considerations of the longstanding agitations of many genuine Nigerians, demanding an equitable template which will permanently address and fulfill the collective aspirations of all concerned.
Therefore, on the grounds of the leadership gallantry of our beloved Governor and his relentless administrative masterstrokes, the leadership of OPM and indeed the entire Ndi-Enugu State are already moist with high expectations of a positive outcome on the genuine call from the people’s Governor, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Dr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, for Enugu State to be designated as an oil bearing State by the RMAFC as well as the subsequent 50-50 revenue allocation formula proposition among Enugu, Anambra and Kogi States.
It is indeed a worthy call coming from the desk of our beloved Governor. This is a true reflection of the obvious fact that Gburugburu is Movement, a movement of the people by the people and for the people.
In Gburus We Stand!
Enugu State will continue
