Tompolo's People Support His Probe By EFCC - Vanguard by naijapips02: 9:51am On Jan 13, 2016
The leaders and people of Okerenkoko, Gbaramatu Kingdom, in Warri South-West Local Government Area, Delta State, have given their total support to the Economic and Finance Crimes Commission, EFCC, in its probe of Chief Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, over the alleged N13 billion paid by Federal Government for the acquisition of the Maritime University land in the community.


The leaders, who spoke through Chief Micheal Johnny, yesterday in Warri, said now that Tompolo had admitted that the alleged N13 billion was approved by the Federal Executive Council, FEC and Bureau of Public Procurement, BPP, Federal Ministry of Lands and Survey, Federal Ministry of Transport, NIMASA, the EFCC should ask Tompolo why Okerenkoko was paid only N360 million for the land.

They said Tompolo was not above the law and he should tell Nigerians the whereabouts of the balance of over N12billion, urging the EFCC to invite Tompolo and also the immediate former ministers of the aforementioned ministries and agency to explain their respective roles in the transaction.

The leaders insisted that EFCC should prosecute those involved in the diversion of the funds, recover same and given for the development of the community, which was razed down years.

Even though it is old news, can we see the maturity in other people.

While some are doing this, others are protesting for the protection of a criminal because "he is our brother".

Ignorance is really a disease

To Make it clear to those who don't know what transpired:

The Money in question was paid for the acquisition of the temporary site and structures on it which was built personally by Tompolo. And also for the virgin land of the permanent site which is different from the temporary site. The temporary site contains multi billion naira structures that are fully equipped to the fullest.

Michael Jonny is not speaking for the community, he is an APC chieftain trying to get favour from the present administration.

What I meant is that, the community people (if the story is true) probably are the people who filed the petition against Tompolo.

As you can see, their problem is not that N13b was used to buy land (an outrageous amount by any standard), but that Tompolo received the money and only gave them circa N300m.

So, if Tompolo had shared the money like they wanted, maybe 60% for the community, and 40% for him, they would not be supporting this probe. They probably would have been protesting the court's decision to arrest Tompolo like the people of Oghara when Ibori was arrested and sentenced.

And as I said, that is the problem with ND. The communities are like the NGF, with the motto: "Share the money". If you don't you are corrupt and have to answer, if you do, you are a true son of the soil and should be left alone.

Little wonder why development is scarce in ND. Look at Warri, a supposed oil city. Community people don pursue all the companies finish, no meaningful development even though the state receives the second highest allocation in Nigeria, generates one of the top 5 highest IGR in the country and has one of the largest debt profile of all states, because of share the money mentality. All those money wasted because of the myopic mentality.

Sources tell me the current governor, Okowa has up to 200 special advisers and assistants all receiving bogus salaries and emoluments, aside the commissioners and their aides, agencies and other institutions. The same thing in Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, even Rivers, and some idiots will say the underdevelopment is GEJ fault because he did not do anything in the region. Wetin he for do, build house for everybody for each community...

Credible people kon, incredible hulk ni. Why them no file am since?

They are filing it now because they know the APC government is looking to score cheap points against PDP and would be ready to drag Tompolo to the mud.

Watch, even if them give them all the N13b, nothing them go use am do. Them go still beg government for road, water, electricity, schools, jobs; and their children will still work around with just pants and stay in latrines called houses.

Once chiefs don take their share, youth leader don take him share, boys don drink tombo, na to dey clamor for more free money from Ministry of Niger Delta, or NDDC, or DESOPADEC.

Everything is about the motive.

In any case, I cannot find where I said Tompolo should not go for the probe.

I'm only saying if the probe finds that the N13b is fraudulent, the community should also forfeit its 300 million. All the money should be returned. Make me see if them no go change mouth.

Why should 12B be spent on a temporary site when there is a permanent site. The money and effort should have been channelled to the permanent site directly.

The difference between other tribes and Biafrans is the ability to see evil and call it by its name. The biafrans through their actions of defending perceived politicians from igbo extraction has given credence to their criminality tendency they are known for. However, we enjoined the govt to make it a matter of law and principle to put behind bar anyone who allowed himself be used as a willful tool in the hands of politicians to carry out protest against the interest of the country

Thanks for the info bro.

My point is that no one in Nigeria especially groups do not support the "right" thing unless they have something to gain.

Why are the PDP members in the House of Representatives calling for Metuh's release if not because his staying in custody endangers the political careers of many of them.

I still maintain that if Tompolo had given the community like N6b of that N13b, we would be hearing of protests and placards not the community calling for him to answer for the money.

That I believe you should have known citing your experience in the nature of Nigeria's politics. The war on corruption is a lone war against mighty odds, PMB should maintain a firm resolve to pursue this war. If he is waiting on support, he would get very little, and most likely from those who want to be shielded from the war.

Let's call a spade a spade in Nigeria. Enough of the nit-picking.
