The recent resignation of a human right activist, Comr. Victor Ojei, also known as WongBox has ethnic coloration as well as Political undertone.
This was disclosed by Comr. TEGA Shalope, National Coordinator, Foundation For Right Advocate in Delta in an interaction with Journalists in Warri, she advised WongBox to stop misleading the public stressing that,”what you’re telling the public is not what you’re doing.”
It would be recalled that, WongBox, Senior Special Assistant to the Delta State Government on Human Right recently resigned his appointment citing insecurity as one of his reasons.
Come. Ojei also cited another reason for his resignation to be the defection of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori from the People’s Democratic Party(PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Comr. Shalokpe, a human rights activist recalled that Mr. WongBox who had been a human right activist failed to show compassion to victims of herdsmen attacks in some communities in the state but now giving hinging his resignation on insecurity because it affected the people of his area.
She declared “Mr. WongBox, you have been in the State when herdsmen almost wiped out some communities in this State and you did not resign. You did not even speak up for them. You did not visit these places or sympathize with them like Kelly Efemena Umukoro did and others did.
“WongBox, you have been in the State when herdsmen almost wiped out Uwheru Community, Agadama, Evwreni and Ughelli/Patani Road. You have not gone there to visit them any day. Neither have you sympathized with them.
“WongBox, you were in this State when herdsmen almost wiped out Egbo, Otokutu, Uvwiamuge-Agbarho and environs. You did not speak for them. You have been there when herdsmen was disturbing even commercial vehicles in Sapele/Benin Eoad, Oghara axis. You did not speak up for them. Herdsmen als terrorized Abraka Kingdom, you kept mute then.
According to Shalokpe “now, all of a sudden, you said resigned because of insecurity, saying that herdsmen attacked iyour people in parts of Delta North Senatorial District. I ask, are you a human right activist for just your community and environs or you are human right activist for all?
She reminded him(WongBox) that his principal defected from the PDP to the APC before Governor Oborevwori defected but he did not come out to make any statement about it.
Shalokpe pledged her group’s unalloyed support for the Governor Sheriff Oborevwori led APC Delta State Government.
She spoke further, “I am fully out for Sheriff and I stand with Sheriff. On his mandate, I will stand. If you’re not a hypocrite, come out publicly to stand for your principal and let’s see how it goes. Stop disgracing human right activists. “
Shalokpe urged all human right activists across the State to open their eyes and be very watchful and not allow anyone to deceive and mislead them, adding, there are some persons who are into activism for self aggrandizement.”
