RESOLUTION FOR THE CREATION OF BENI-EBE STATE
(A Demand for the Creation of BENI-EBE STATE with Demarcation of
Seventeen (17) Local Government Areas)
Preamble
We, the people of Arogbo, Apoi, Taribo, Egbema, Olodiama, Furupagha and Okomu clans of the Ijaw ethnic nationality residing in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria, proclaim that:
1) The Ijaws are indisputably one of the four largest ethnic groups in the Nigerian state, with an estimated population of some 15 million people (the 1991 Federal Provisional Census put the population of the Ijaws at 14 million, making the population of the Ijaws far more than the population of 40 of the 53 independent countries in the African continent and more than 134 out of the 191 independent countries in the world), occupying contiguously the entire length and breadth of the Niger Delta region, and are mischievously balkanized into the eight states of Akwa-Ibom, Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, Ondo, Ogun, and Lagos, thus making the Ijaws a strikingly insignificant minority in many of these states.
2) Divided deliberately, these homogenous Ijaw people cannot form a viable component in any of the states where they find themselves, thereby making them vulnerable to oppression, repression, and marginalization politically and economically despite the very near total dependence of the Nigerian State, for its functioning, on the resources derived from their lands.
3) As an aboriginal people of the Niger Delta, we, the Ijaws, have peacefully practiced our occupations of fishing, farming, timbering, logging, canoe carving, palm wine tapping and gin distillation until recent decades when oil exploration and pollution have hindered and devastated these occupations.
4) As an added benefit to gladden the soul, the Ijaws are specially endowed and talented with spectacular cultural music, dance, masquerade performances, unique festive presentations, dance boats, and war canoes.
5) Very much conscious of the Divine Favor that is bestowed upon them in the abundant natural resources of marine-life, fossil fuels (petroleum and natural gas), bitumen, forest, and mineral resources, the Ijaws can no longer stand by and watch their God-given blessings callously and prodigiously exploited and siphoned to distant lands to the detriment of their citizenry and in total disregard for the environment in which they find their habitation.
6) Remaining acutely aware that our ancestors added blessings of integrity and creativity to their good fortune by organizing a society that was peaceful, prosperous, and expansive enough to withstand European intrusion upon our shores for slaves, and benevolently utilizing their contacts with the Portuguese, Dutch, English, and their like through centuries of undiminished sovereignty and independence; and
7) Employing their integrity with peacefulness, compassion, sympathy, and unsurpassed deportment in lending helping hands to the persecuted and oppressed, the Ijaws, in dealing with their neighbors, ironically found themselves vulnerable to abuse not only by the very people they accommodated but even by the Nigerian State for that which the Ijaws have offered and could offer.
8) Committing ourselves unequivocally to our peoples’ lofty place in history, and determined, therefore, to beat back the current deterioration in our culture under the stranglehold of oppression and marginalization from internal and external powers, WE, the Ijaws, do hereby present the following irrevocable proposition:
THE CASE FOR THE CREATION OF BENI-EBE STATE
WHEREAS, the Ijaw communities, demarcated into Arogbo Central, Arogbo South, Arogbo North, Ukparamo, Ajakpata, Biyagbene, Adoloseimoh, Awodikuro, Apoi, Gbekebo, Gbaraun LGAs in the present Ondo State, Egbema Mainland, Egbema Island, Egbema-South, Ogbudugbudu, Ofunama, Olodiama LGAs in the present Edo State and Delta State, having united for a common purpose, for the benefit of all our indigenes, do hereby agree to form a new State in the West of the Niger Delta to be called BENI-EBE STATE, with the city of Arogbo as the capital; and
WHEREAS, the BENI-EBE STATE territory is bordered on the West and North by Ondo State and Edo State and on the East by the proposed Toru-Ebe State, and bordered on the South by the Atlantic Ocean; and
WHEREAS, the population of the communities comprising the Ondo and Edo States of Nigeria have increased from 3.8 million (Ondo) and 2.6 million (Edo) in1991 to 5.0 million and 3.5 million respectively (2005 Nigerian National Census figures); and
WHEREAS, the populace of the constituent Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the Ondo and Edo States, including the territories of Arogbo Central, Arogbo South, Arogbo North, Ukparamo, Ajakpata, Biyagbene, Adoloseimoh, Awodikuro, Apoi, Gbekebo, Gbaraun in the present Ondo State, and Egbema Mainland, Egbema Island, Egbema-South, Ogbudugbudu, Ofunama, Olodiama LGAs in the present Edo State and Delta State, have similarly increased if not more so because of their marriage customs; and
WHEREAS, the proposed BENI-EBE STATE will have an estimated population of two million people, distributed over hundreds of settlements, in a very difficult and mostly inaccessible physical environment; and
WHEREAS, most of the original twelve states of Nigeria, excepting Rivers State until recently, have been reconfigured to two or more states with attendant expansion of LGAs (for example, East Central State now has five States with 92 LGAs; Western State now has six States with 117 LGAs; the Northern States now have 19 states with 408 LGAs, to mention a few), today’s Rivers State and Bayelsa State (carved out of Rivers) have just 30 LGAs combined, compared to Southeastern State which similarly now has two States (Akwa Ibom State and Cross River State) but with 47 LGAs combined; and
WHEREAS, governance and development are still very inaccessible to remote dwellers of the proposed BENI-EBE STATE, as currently constituted, due to their multiple wetland settlements and outright neglect of the people residing in these areas by the various levels of the Nigerian Government; and
WHEREAS, the marshy terrain of BENI-EBE STATE is much more difficult and expensive than the other Nigerian upland terrain to manage for the purpose of infrastructural development, such as the physical construction of motorable roads, housing estates, administrative buildings, laying of pipes for potable water, bridges, and industries, etc; and
WHEREAS, the size of BENI-EBE STATE is NOT only measured by just the residential space and environs it occupies, but includes the surrounding rivers and seas and the additional mangrove forests immediately beyond these rivers and seas, such as fishing ports, market depots, dwelling enclaves, and farm lands as separate islets and islands, given the deltaic terrain; and
WHEREAS, the creation of a BENI-EBE STATE will foster even and accelerated development of the territories being proposed to constitute the new state, thus helping to arrest under-development and accelerate infrastructural projects (motorable roads, bridges, water and sewer lines, and other utility projects) and social amenities (schools and health facilities) to ameliorate the vices of poverty and destitution that often contribute to the restiveness in the Niger Delta region; and
WHEREAS these marshy terrains have been endowed with natural gas and petroleum deposits for the benefit of the Nigerian State, the attendant hazards of exploration of these same terrains have been detrimental to the health, environment, and livelihood of the BENI-EBE STATE communities, they beg for adequate plans for sustainable, improved quality of life for all constituents of BENI-EBE STATE communities while the gas and petroleum exploration lasts; and
WHEREAS, the proposed BENI-EBE STATE occupies a territory also richly endowed with a vast forest reserve with very rare and indispensable varieties of timbers (cedar, mahogany, black afra, white afra) for the construction, building, and furniture industries, and a latent source of foreign exchange in the export market, the failure of the Nigerian state to develop these resources is symptomatic of the criminal neglect of the Ijaw man; and
WHEREAS, the oppression and repression of the Ijaws, in the proposed BENI-EBE STATE, by the various state governments, is most visibly illustrated in appointments into the public service and political offices, most appallingly, this discrimination is carried into the utilization of the states’ quota in the federal service, as there are no instruments in place to implement the intended goal of state creation in eliminating these above vices; and
WHEREAS, it is our belief that the creation of BENI-EBE STATE will be a vista of opportunity to develop the territory with the attendant employment opportunities that will ensure improved internally generated revenue from tax and other incomes; and
WHREAS, the creation of the BENI-EBE STATE will gradually address the feeling of frustration experienced by the people from the long period of neglect, by virtue of a sense of belongingness in the new political dispensation, which will systematically ease off the violence in the region; and
THEREFORE, we the Arogbo, Apoi and Taribo Ijaws of Ondo State and the Egbema, Furupagha, Okomu and Olodiama Ijaws of Edo State and Delta State, on this Monday, July 21st, 2008, resolve and propose:
That BENI-EBE STATE is created for our people and territory with AROGBO as Capital and seventeen (17) Local Government Areas demarcated as follows:
