Obasempire reports that a faction operating under the banner of 21st Century Youths of Niger Delta and Agitators with Conscience (21st CYNDAC) has come to the defense of Senator Goodwill Obot Akpabio in response to claims that he is accountable for the economic difficulties and food shortages in Nigeria.

They contended that Akpabio has backed legislation designed to address these problems and called on critics to also hold other political leaders, including governors and legislators, responsible.
The faction cautioned that if the unfavorable depiction of Akpabio continues, they would launch an initiative named “Operation Eat Your Gold and Let’s Eat Our Oil,” indicating a focus on resource management and self-sufficiency in the Niger Delta region.
The statement was made by the group’s Coordinator, Izon Ebi, in reaction to the popular hashtag #AkpabiomustGo.

According to the group, “It should be on record that Senator Goodwill Obot Akpabio has facilitated every legislation brought to it by the executive to ameliorate the suffering in the land and as such preposterous for him to be singled out as the poster boy for the hardship and hunger that is prevalent in Nigeria.
We use this medium to advice the fifth columnists to also hold the governors and representatives to account as we in the Niger Delta will also hold our representatives to account. If this trend continues, we will activate operation eat your Gold and let’s eat our oil.”
