URHOBO youths under the aegis of Urhobo Youth Leaders Assembly, have vowed to resist anybody or group of persons, who would attempt to shortchange them in the proposed 6,000 pipeline security job slots to Delta State by the Federal Government.

The youth leaders at a meeting in Ughelli, Delta State, raised alarm over an attempt by some persons to cause confusion over the slots and alleged that the entire Urhobo were being given 120 of the 6000 slots to the state.

Speaking during the meeting, President of the group, Mr. Western Adehor, said Urhobo being the largest gas producers in the country and the fifth  largest tribe in Nigeria and accommodates over 50% of oil facilities in the state, they should be given their fair share of the slots.

He said the group will not fold its arms and watch any individual or group outside Urhobo come into its territory to determine how Urhobo affairs should be managed.

According to him, security of oil facilities in Urhoboland should be managed by Urhobo and enjoined President Goodluck Jonathan and Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, to address the matter to avoid a crisis situation.
