“Sales of the NNPC would rob off the economic gains of the common man in no time and the Niger Delta region would have been wiped off the Nigeria topography. Once your friends who are majorly Fulani Hausas buys it; it then mean we have been colonised in our own kingdoms. Never!!!! It won’t be easy for ATIKU and his friends to buy up our ancestral home lands. It is an abomination. When and where the federal government is tired of the use of our lands then it must be return back to the aborigines not sells to foreigners. That is the constitution. If ATIKU want to restructure Nigeria then selling the NNPC even to me Asari Dokubo is not the way to go. The entire Niger Delta region won’t allow that to stand. Never!”
