The media office of High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, the Ibe-Ebidouwei of Ijaw Nation and Chairman of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, has debunked a report trending in some social media platforms, purporting that the highly respected Ijaw leader issued a 21-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to release Nnamdi Kalu.
In a statement made available to the press, Tompolo’s Media Consultant, Dr. Paul Bebenimibo, unequivocally and unambiguously stated that the Tantita Security Chief did not author the said publication.
According to him, “High Chief Ekpemupolo has nothing to do with the issue of Nnamdi Kanu. It is clearly the hand work of Tompolo’s enemies, who are out there to discredit and pull him down because of his stand against illegal crude oil activities in the Niger Delta region. This set of people has failed and will continue to fail because he will not relent in carrying out his duty to totally eradicate illegal oil activities in the region.
“We wish to reassure the Federal Government, led by our dynamic President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, that Tompolo is with him and will continue to support the Renewed Hope Agenda of his administration.
“We wish to add that Tompolo remains firm and reafirms his endorsement of Mr President for second term and continues to work for its realisation.
“Once again, the Federal Government and the general public should ignore the said publication”, the statement added.
