President, Commander- in- Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria,
State House,
Aso Rock Villa.
Abuja.
Our Dear President,
A DEMAND FOR THE RE-APPOINTMENT OF CHiEF DR MIKE NWIELAGHI AS CHAIRMAN, BOARD OF
TRUSTEES, HYDROCABON POLLUTION REMEDIATION PROJECT, (HYPREP)
As Chiefs and Elders Council of Buan in Yorla oil Field in Ogoni Land, we write to express our displeasure of how some political motivated individuals substituted the name of our son Chief Dr. Mike Nwielaghi for another person .
The press release from state House, ( 11th August,2025), clearly shows your good intentions of Mr. President to Re-appoint our son and your staunch supporter from the days of Alliance for Democracy (AD), Action Congress ( AC) to All Progressives Congress ( APC) in Rivers State, Chief Dr. Mike Nwielaghi.
It is based on the above, we are demanding that Mr President should Re-appoint Chief Dr. Mike Nwielaghi as Chairman, Board of Trustees of HYDROCABON POLLUTION and Remediation project.
Mr. President sir, Buan Community in Ogoni is in Yorla oil field where about 50% of our Farm land is occupied by oil wells and pipelines criss- crossing the Rivers and creeks, which have denied us sources of Livelihood over the years. It has also placed our children, women and men at high risk and danger of pollution for several decades. Thank fully enough, this was the first time a son or daughter from our community was privileged to had gotten an appointment at either state or Federal levels of government for the past fifty years.
Mr President, it is to be further underscored that Buan community has not less than 30% stakeholders voice in the oil resumption in Ogoni being an oil producing area of Rivers State.
Mr. President, permit us to equally say that, Nwika Deeyaah Emmanuel though from Ogoni has no immediate stake in oil production in Ogoni Land. Moreover, he has held various positions ranging from Commissioner, Member house of Assembly, Member, Federal House of Representatives Abuja etc. With no visible impacts on the lives and people of his community and Ogoni at large,
Mr. President sir, we are strongly demanding that Chief Dr. Mike Nwielaghi be Re-appointed to enable him complete the various HYPREP projects which he started in his community and Ogoniland as a whole.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Long live Buan Community
Long live Ogoniland
Long live The Federal Republic of Nigeria.
