THE Okpe members of Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Warri Depot, is set to protest alleged marginalisation in the scheme of things within the association.
They called on all patriotic Okpe sons and daughters from the area to rise and address the injustice perpetuated by some individuals, who called themselves owners of the association.
Comrade Collins Obeghe, Vice Chairman, Warri Depot, in an address, lamented that Okpe people, who belong to the host community of the Petroleum and Product Marketing Company (PPMC), have no executive position in IPMAN while those from Edo, Ibo and Yoruba have two executive positions each.
He vowed to carry out this struggle till justice is done, adding that if the abnormalities were not corrected, the selection instead of election adopted by those who say they own the association would be challenged in court.
The chairman advised that all stakeholders should be carried along, most especially the host communities of Uvwie, Okpe and Itsekiris.
Obeghe thanked Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan for intervening in the crisis rocking the association and appealed to the governor to resolve all issues in IPMAN Warri before the set date of November 20, 2014.
