If Gold in Zamfara can be Managed by their Government, the Oil in Rivers State must be managed by their Government too

If Gold in Zamfara can be managed by their government, the Oil in Rivers State must be managed by their Government too

Newera News gathered that the former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike  said, if the Gold in Zamfara State can be managed by the state government, the old in Rivers can be managed by him.

Wike has wondered why the gold in Zamfara is not a national cake like the oil in Rivers State.

Speaking to newsmen in Port Harcourt, Wike, who was reacting to the news of CBN demanding N5 billion gold from the Zamfara government, wondered if same gesture can be allowed in his state.

Wike stated that he is looking forward to having a gold well in Zamfara soon.

According to the governor, since the discovery of oil in our region, we are meant to believe that it is a national cake. Even imams in the North have oil wells in my state and neighbouring states.

Our land is split as a result of this oil, yet there are no plans by the federal government to clean up our devastated lands.

We are given 13% control of something in our backyard, which God blessed us with…

To my greatest surprise, I saw the news of CBN demanding N5 billion gold from the Zamfara state government….

So the Zamfara government are managing it, but in my region, many northerners are oil well owners.

I am looking forward to having a gold well in Zamfara state soon since it’s all about mineral resources in our country. Not only I but people of my state.

If this is not allowed, let it be known that it is an injustice against us, and we will know what to do going forward.
