A Bayelsa-born Legal Practitioner, Dortimi Kester Tawari has thrown his weight behind the growing opposition to the contentious National Water Resources

Tawari described the proposed legislation as a threat to the powers of the States and a threat to the nation’s fragile unity.

Tawari made this known during an interactive session with DAILY POST at the Secretariat of the Nigerian Union of Journalists, Bayelsa State Council. Tawari also pointed out that the decree under the Military junta handed access to water “but the present administration introduced politics and the proposed Bill will usurp the powers of the Governors under the Land Use Act.

“The water Resources Bill has lots of ambiguity, confusion and a treasonable. The Bill will tear our fragile unity. They have taken the crude oil, water and the lives of the people. It is obnoxious and wicked to the Niger Delta and the Ijaw nation. The Bill raised lots of suspicions.”
