By Ebuka Uzoigwe

Delta State Host Communities of Nigeria Producing Oil & Gas (HOSTCOM) has condemned claims by Delta State Oil Minerals Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC, Indigenous Contractors Forum that there is a dispute between the forum and DESOPADEC.

It described the claims as a calculated attempt to mislead the public and tarnish the reputation of DESOPADEC and Delta State governor, Sheriff Oborevwori.

A statement by Chairman of DESOPADEC Indigenous Contractors Forum, Ogie Oritsebemigho, and Secretary, Charles Ebigbagha, had alleged that there is a dispute between DESOPADEC and the contractors’ forum.

However, HOSTCOM, under the leadership its state Chairman,Comrade Enujeke Sunday, and Secretary, High Comrade Joseph Lamienghan, in a statement, dismissed the claim as baseless.

HOSTCOM commended DESOPADEC leadership under Chief Festus Ochonogor (Managing Director) and Chief John Nani (Chairman), noting their commitment to addressing the needs of oil-bearing communities in line with Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s M.O.R.E Agenda

The group urged Oborevwori and DESOPADEC to disregard the actions of the forum, which it labelled as acts of sabotage aimed at derailing progress.

HOSTCOM reiterated its confidence in DESOPADEC management and the MORE AGENDA of Oborevwori.
HOSTCOM affirmed that Governor Oborevwori’s administration has demonstrated fiscal discipline and prudence in managing the derivation funds. The group called on security agencies to intervene and prevent any action that may disrupt the peace and stability in the state under any guise.

“The peace and stability across Delta State are a direct result of the impactful and people-oriented initiatives implemented under the M.O.R.E Agenda. DESOPADEC has performed exceptionally well, delivering critical infrastructure and development projects that directly benefit oil-producing communities. This aligns with the governor’s vision of equity, transparency, and progress in Delta State,” HOSTCOM added.
