The Save Our Ogoni Project has warned that there may be crisis in Ogoniland if all the communities are not involved in the selection of youths for overseas training for the Ogoni Cleanup project.

The group, after consultations with Ogoni stakeholders including youth bodies in all eight Ogoni kingdoms, condemned what it viewed as the unilateral selection of some Ogoni youths for overseas training by the Project Coordinator of HYPREP, Dr. Marvin Dekil.

“We are particularly disturbed that Dr. Marvin Dekil by his actions could throw Ogoni into another civil crisis as his actions are not all inclusive and appear to be driven by a particular political party,” the group said in a statement issuedon Tuesday by its Coordinator, Anthony Aalo.

The group also issued a three-day ultimatum to the Project Coordinator to withdraw his nominations and consult with all stakeholders and youth bodies in Ogoni in respect of the selection of youths for training regarding the Ogoni cleanup.

“We completely reject the list of nominees provided by Dr. Dekil for training as they were selected based on political party affiliations and urge the Federal Government toimpress on the managers of HYPREP, especially the Governing Council, to consult all relevant stakeholders to avoid any crises in Ogoniland,” Aalo said.
