Why Pesu? The present sea port in Warri is not functioning to capacity it ought to. Reasons because the water way is not deep enough for sea and ocean going heavy vessels to berth. Obviously building the said new seaport in Pesu area will end up a stalemate if not a mirage. The present seaport in Warri is seriously yawning for dredging. I don't see any good reason behind this Pesu seaport project. Pesu is not far from the present Warru seaport. Why all this drama by the federal government?

This project will end up entangling the Urhobo, Ijaw and the Tsekiri communities in fracas which will eventually bear the fruits being sowed. Even if the said 'seaport' as targeted becomes a reality, it will end up a wasted effort which would brew skirmishes and in the end be a mushroom project.
