The Executive Governor of Delta State, His Excellency Gov.Senator Ifeanyi Okowa had said that it's unlawful for Zamfara State to control their own gold in the state.
Okowa, who spoke at his 2020 quarterly media interaction in Asaba, the state capital, maintained that what Zamfara state government was doing was clearly an illegality, warning that if the matter was not properly addressed, South -South governors would have no option than to assume control of oil and gas in their states.
The governor, who asserted that South-South governors believe in restructuring and resource control, hinted that governors of the oil- rich region, ministers, lawmakers and other stakeholders would meet, Friday, at Port-Harcourt, Rivers state, to deliberate and take position on the matter and other issues.
