Port Harcourt — The Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) has urged Ogoni people to support the ongoing dialogue process coordinated by the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), describing it as the best opportunity to achieve a lasting resolution to the long-standing Ogoni crisis.
Speaking in Bori, the traditional headquarters of the Ogoni people, on Saturday, MOSOP President, Fegalo Nsuke, said that after 33 years of resistance to oil exploration in Ogoniland, the Federal Government’s decision to engage the people through dialogue marked a significant departure from previous approaches, which he described as largely imposed.
He said MOSOP was committed to the dialogue because it offered a pathway to peace, development and economic progress for the Ogoni people.
According to Nsuke, some individuals were attempting to undermine the dialogue process because they benefited from the prolonged crisis.
