The Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People (MOSOP) has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to intervene urgently in the alleged plot by the Nigeria National Petroleum Company (NNPC) and Sahara Energy to bypass the people of Ogoni in deciding the company that would resume oil exploration in the area.

MOSOP President, Fegalo Nsuke, who made the appeal in a letter to President Tinubu titled; “OML 11: Unholy secret deals in NNPC threaten oil resumption In Ogoni,” said if NNPC goes ahead to give Sahara Energy the right to the oil in Ogoni, it could lead to a major crisis in the area.

Part of the letter reads; “Barely 30 years after a brutal crisis that cruelly affected the national economy, another oil war may be looming in Ogoni Kingdom, Rivers State, following the clandestine moves of some oil operating firms to resume production in the area.
