An Ugborodo Community leader and member of Ogidigben Export Processing Zone, EPZ Interface Committee, Mr. Godwin Ojogor has distanced himself from a report which insinuates that he gave the ownership of Kpokpo, an Ugborodo Community, Warri South-West Local Government Area in Delta State to the Ijaws of Gbaramatu.
Mr. Ojogor who insisted that Itsekiri will not concede the deep sea Port of the EPZ project to Ijaw of Gbaramatu, stated that Kpokpo is owned by Ugborodo Community in Warri South- West “that is why the Ijaws who are today claiming ownership burnt it during the last Warri crisis”.
He enjoined the Federal Government, the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC and the general public to disregard any report linking him to Ijaw claim of Kpokpo, stressing that such statement did not emanate from him.
The report had claimed that the Itsekiris can allow the Ijaw to agitate for a 50% of only Kpokpo land that is in dispute which “they (Ijaw of Gbaramatu) are also laying claim on and not all the 300 hectares of land”, adding that “the deep sea port should be named after the Ugborodo community which has the larger part of the land in dispute”.
