Chief Ebidowei noted that the call for the revocation of the Jones Creek Hydrocarbon Company have become necessary as the Company’s name is the ancestral name and land of his forefathers, stressing that a complete stranger who is not from Jones Creek cannot be allowed to continue to use such name to run his business to further undermine and impoverish the people.
According to him, Dr. Ernest Obijiesi is using his group of companies to suffocate host communities indegenes in Oml 42, stressing that the level of subjecting the people to be eating crumbs has reached a boiling point.
Chief Ebidowei said in the coming days, the leadership of Jones Creek will be writing formally to the CAC with a view of withdrawing the CAC certificate from Dr. Ernest Obijiesi and his family, stressing that they don’t have the right to operate the company with Jones Creek, their ancestral name attached to the company when those operating the company are complete strangers.
