Secret Leaks Point to Imminent Crisis in MOSOP
Information reaching Ogoninews indicate that a serious scandal could hit the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People(MOSOP) if Ogoni leaders do not immediately step in to arrest the situation. The scandal had been highly concealed by MOSOP leaders to save the Organization from public ridicule.Ogoninews investigation reveal that the scandal could affect the organization’s global image, the reason for which MOSOP leaders particularly the Coordinators of the various kingdoms have kept it a top secret.
Ogoninews sources reveal that a notification had long been sent to Caretaker Committee Chairman, Prof. Ben Naanen to quickly take steps to resolve the issue and save Ogoni from the embarrassment.
The reluctant attitude of the Caretaker Committee headed by Prof. Ben Naanen to resolve the issue, Ogoninews learnt, had been part of reasons why the The MOSOP Kingdom Coordinators and Chapter Leaders had kicked against Prof. Naanen’s Committee in July.
A MOSOP Coordinator who spoke to Ogoninews on phone pointed out the problem had been caused by financial mismanagement since January 2012.
Ogoninews sources reveal that some members of the MOSOP leadership had been further infuriated by the lackluster attitude of the Caretaker committee members whom they accused of taken actions against the ideals of the organization.
Following inconclusive elections in December, 2011, the Steering Committee of MOSOP had met and decided to form a Caretaker Committee to oversee the conduct of remaining elections of MOSOP and run the organization for the period. The Caretaker Committee in its first press release had promised to hand over to an elected executive on January 4, 2013.
