The South-south is angry with the North over the position of Northern delegates to the National Conference calling for the review of sharing of oil proceeds.
The North wants all the states of the federation to share proceeds from off-shore oil and a reduction in the current 13 per cent derivation for the oil bearing states.
Mr Amorighoye Mene, a Niger Delta leader and member of the #Itsekiri Leaders of Thought; Samson Mamamu, the Regent of Ogbe-Ijoh Warri Kingdom, and outspoken activist Chief Ayirimi Emami described the paper as insulting and threat to the peace and unity of the country.
Mene, a lawyer, said: “The position of ACF and northern governor is threat to the peace, unity and peaceful coexistence of Nigeria. That is why we are calling for restructuring of Nigeria because until we do, we cannot move forward.”
