3. Congress rejected the plans by the present executives of MOSOP to extend their tenure in office by whatever means, contrary to ARTICLE 11 (1) of the MOSOP Constitution, and resolved to resist moves by the Pyagbara led MOSOP executive to extend its tenure beyond December 2018.

5. Congress called on Gbo-Kabaari and other Ogoni leaders to rescue the dwindling popularity of MOSOP by calling for a congress of the Ogoni people to constitute an electoral body that should conduct elections and elect new executives of MOSOP at all levels should the Steering committee of MOSOP fail to constitute an electoral committee before the end of September, 2018.
