He said Nigeria is the only oil producing state, adding that no state in the country should lay claim to the natural resources.
He said 72% of the country’s landmass belongs to the north and by United Nation’s law, it is only the north that has the right to claim ownership of the oil.
According to him, “There is no oil producing state. The only oil producing state is the Nigeria state itself.
He claimed that it is the landmass of a nation that determines how much of the ocean it would owe, noting that the north has made Nigeria to owe the oil producing areas because of its landmass.
“So what they claim is the offshore oil is actually for the north. If anybody should own it, is the north.
“So we should stop using these terms that make no sense at all. There are no oil producing states. It is only the Nigerian state that produces oil.”
