We must resolve Udu/Ogbe-Ijoh, Isaba boundary conflicts —Delta LGA boss

WARRING Aladja community in  Udu Local Government Area of Delta State, and Ogbe-Ijoh/Isaba  in Warri South West  LGA  have been urged to find the courage and integrity to resolve their lingering boundary dispute.

Udu  LGA  Chairman, Chief Solomon Kpomah, who spoke in Warri, said the call became necessary to find lasting solution to the recurring loss of lives and property arising from frequent hostilities in the area.

According to Kpomah, “The government of Sen. Ifeanyi Okowa is now more determined to make the difference in nipping in the bud, this avoidable crisis between neighbors who should be living as brothers and sisters.

“My thinking is that Governor Okowa would  feel fulfilled  over the matter, if the communities themselves buy into the current administration’s intervention in sincerity and will to embrace peace.

“I have come to the realisation that the unending litigation, propaganda, attacks and counter attacks will not yield the desired peace. It is therefore high time both sides, in an atmosphere of give and take, embraced themselves and let bygone be bygone”.

The Udu council boss further challenged all in position to resolve the lingering crisis not to be discouraged by the repeated hostilities, adding that relentless interventions were necessary to keep hope alive for a workable solution to the crisis”.
