Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt becomes pertinent that I publicly call your attention to issues regarding the Civil Society Organisations, CSO And Non-Governmental Organisations, NGO which are supposed to be under your control.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs bodies, saddled first, with the protection of human rights, with the responsibility of being the voice to the vulnerable people in society; it saddens me to see how disorganized we\u2019ve been which of course, underscores our performances and proactiveness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are supposed to be channels through which the government can be responsive to the plights of the people but sadly, this is not the reality. Instead, we\u2019ve brought personal profits and issues, at the expense of the people we are to represent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo much hate, bitterness, envy and jealousy are thriving among us, as it has been more of competing than collaborations. This is saddening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSir, the disagreements among comrades in the human rights community, on whether to engage in an unorganized protest #Endbadgovernance or not, has exposed a lot about our differences and why we haven\u2019t achieved any meaningful success as registered bodies with good brains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeanwhile, you cannot also deny the fact that there is hunger and the people are faced with untold hardship, as poor families can no longer afford their basic needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSir, to all extents, if we\u2019ve had a working state that is organized and productive, no well-meaning Deltans would consider engaging in a protest in a time such as this, that it could either lead to serious riots or civil unrest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDelta State is not just rich in mineral resources but also in human resources but the absence of these industries and other establishments have stood as an impediment to the people of Delta State, as we do not even have any welfare benefits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSir, in a moment when Nigerians are agonised over repressive, depressing and distressing socio-economic situations; a sane government is expected to negotiate, heart to heart with the people, devising several means to alleviate their sufferings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will be so unwise for us to project and engage a protest with a government we cannot interface with, which in the end, would thwart our efforts and achievements of an intended goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the other hand, it would be wise if you could create a moment for civil society organizations, the non-governmental organizations as well as stakeholders in the State, to engage the Delta State Government in a town hall meeting, where we can bring issues directly confronting the people and also get immediate feedback responses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDistinguished comrade sir, I understand the physical and psychological strains which accompany your office and the persecution that follows too but you cannot exempt yourself from this great call, as it concerns humanity, which is of utmost importance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
