THE Pat Utomi-led United Niger Delta Energy Development Security Strategy, UNDEDSS, has faulted former governor of Lagos State, Senator Bola Tinubu, over what it described as a reckless attempt to ethnicize the critical issue of oil theft, by accusing President Goodluck Jonathan of being responsible for the stealing of 400,000 barrels of crude oil every day in Nigeria.

UNDEDSS, which is a coalition of ethnic nationalities and civil society organisations in the Niger Delta, cautioned the All Progressives Congress, APC, national leader to cease his perennial ethnic profiling of the region’s people, for reasons of “cheap political ambition.”

The group, in a statement by its Secretary-General, Mr Tony Uranta, said: “Tinubu persists in his dastardly attempt to demonise the Niger Delta and its people. UNDEDSS may be compelled to immediately place him on the active no-vist list that restricts enemies of the Niger Delta and its otherwise-hospitable people from setting foot within our regional space with impunity.”
