The people of the region are yet to see any tangible move towards the constitution of the NDDC board by the federal government. The people are seriously agitated. There is palpable fear and tension in the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wish to reiterate my earlier position that the government should, as a matter of urgency, constitute the substantive board of the NDDC to avoid unnecessary bickering and crisis in the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince I reluctantly accepted the outcome of the consultative meeting, I have done so much to keep peace in the region which some major stakeholders in the security circle are aware of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tompolo also said the government is unfair to a \u201cgreater number of its citizens\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe average Nigerian citizen is a government of his or her own as the citizens provide everything for themselves today. The Nigerian Government must create an enabling environment for the citizens to live a prosperous and peaceful life,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMultinational oil companies operating in the Niger Delta region are not left out in the troubles of the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are clearly part of the conspiracy in the marginalisation of the region.
