Speaking on behalf of my state, we had a position and it was made very clear during the public hearings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is an unthinkable and total injustice to allot three per cent to oil-producing communities. We stated our position of 10 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe definition of host communities or oil-producing communities is also worrisome. Oil-producing communities should not be where pipelines are laid. If the issue of what an oil-producing community is not addressed, it is a time bomb that could explode.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nOn the open grazing, Diri said: \u201cThe issue of cattle grazing is a commercial, private activity. I do not see why we needed anybody\u2019s opinion to regulate a private activity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must protect our people. That is why we have state assemblies. In Bayelsa, it has already come into force since March 11, 2021. Open grazing is no longer sustainable. We need to stop it.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">On the issue of the governors\u2019 resolve that the president of the country should emerge from the south in 2023, he said: \u201cThe governors will have to engage in the lobby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it is only natural justice for the south to produce the president after President Buhari\u2019s eight years. It is not constitutional but a gentleman\u2019s agreement to encourage cohesion and peaceful coexistence.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State, Tuesday, warned that the definition of a host community in the just-passed controversial Petroleum Industry Bill, PIB, by the National Assembly was a time&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":83287,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83286","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
