The Ovie of Idjerhe Kingdom, Delta State, His Royal Majesty, King Obukohwo Whiskey Udurhie I, before his corronation as the traditional ruler of his town was a journalist. He was also the media anchor for Host theCommunities of Nigeria. In a recent dialogue with journalists, including Adibe Emenyonu, on various issues confronting the Niger Delta region and oil producing states, King Udurhie 1 described the ongoing forensic audit by the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs as a fraud Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC): There is no place around the world where you do not have the third force, even in the media, it is there. Way back in 2005, what we had was HOSCON (Host Communities of Nigeria). The HOSCON is like a youth arm of the Traditional Rulers of Oil Mineral Producing Communities of Nigeria (TROMPCON). The founder of TROMPCON, Chief Wellington Okrika, is also the founder of HOSCON. As humans, we like turning things the way they will be of benefit to us. Chief Okrika was appointed as the first executive chairman of Delta State Oil Producing Area Development Commission (DESOPADEC) in 2007 and by the time he finished his tenure in 2010, the person he handed over to wanted to make the advocacy group his baby and changed the name from HOSCON to HOSCOM, but HOSCOM (Host Communities Producing Oil and Gas in Nigeria) is not an offshoot of any group. The HOSCON is an advocacy group for 16 states. We have interest up to Kaduna, Bauchi, Kogi, Abia, Imo, Enugu, and anywhere you have oil in pipelines passing through it, those are the states we refer to as imparted states, while those that produced oil is called oil-producing states. The difference you see is being sponsored by some persons in government to disorganise the Niger Delta people with their struggle because they know that a united Niger Delta is a threat to the forces of government. The man who fought in the National Assembly is a health worker in Sagbama Local Government Area of Bayelsa State. He calls himself the National Chairman of HOSCOM. I know as a matter of fact that HOSCON is a legitimate group, but of course, anything called illegal makes more noise than legal.
