FUGITIVE EX-MILITANTCOMMANDER TOMPOLO BAGS FOUR BILLION-NAIRA MONTHLY OIL PIPELINE CONTRACT!

Having been “cleared” of all charges of theft and money laundering by the Buhari-led APC Government, Ex-Niger Delta militant leader, Government Oweizide Ekpemupole (aka Tompolo), has turned out to be the “ROBINHOOD” that would save for Nigeria the annual humongous trillions of naira loss due to CRUDE OIL THEFT AND OIL BUNKERING in the Niger Delta region!

For a period of six years 2016 – 2022, Tompolo who was a fugitive on the POLICE WANTED LIST disappeared completely into thin air from the Nigerian political and economic scene without a trace in spite of intensified efforts of security agents to arrest him!

However “much water has flowed under the bridge”, Tompolo got a reprieve and suddenly re-emerged to become the beautiful bride among all the ex-militant commanders who surrendered their arms in return for a GENERAL AMNESTY PROGRAMME to the Federal Government of late President Umaru Yar ‘ Ardua on 4th October 2009, who paid them monthly allowances in billions of naira for peace to reign in the Niger Delta region!

The 1990s recorded violent resistant activities by several Niger Militant Delta armed groups of which Tompolo played leading roles and eventually became leader of the reknown Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), before the advent of the Millenia year 2000!

He championed the cause of the Niger Deltans who were abandoned and neglected by consecutive governments in spite of the degradation, devastation through exploration and exploitation of crude oil from their region without adequate compensations for the horrible damages inflicted on both farmlands and the environments!

His groups pressed home their demands that all the exploiters - the locals and the international oil companies - must be made to pay handsomely for the rehabilitation of the degraded lands of Niger Delta and environments through kidnappings of both local and expatriate oil workers and also blasting of pipelines which resulted in the loss of the lives of innocent Nigerians in the region!

WHY DID THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AWARD THE PIPELINE SURVEILLANCE CONTRACT TO TOMPOLO?

The Federal Government has said through the Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, that Tompolo was not awarded the controversial pipeline surveillance contract in person but to the company in which he has interests and in the interest of the people of the region.
He also explained that it was not the first time that individuals within the Niger Delta Region were awarded contracts for pipeline surveillance adding that it was the belief of the Federal Government that it was a wise and right decision to hire private contractors to man oil pipeline network nationwide.

Tompolo was credited to be versatile in the security network of the terrain which he handled creditably in the past. Contractors were selected through a tender process for those who could carry out the assignment because government dealt with corporate entities while government security agencies would continue to play their overall constitutional roles of protection of lives and property in the country.

IT IS ONLY IN NIGERIA’S PRESIDENTIAL ALL-COMMERS SYSTEM THAT CRIMES AND CRIMINALITIES ARE CELEBRATED WITH IMPUNITY BY GOVERNMENT!

NIGERIA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WHERE EX-CONVICTS, CRIMINALS AND DE-RADICALIZED TERRORISTS ARE FOUND DINNING AND WINNING IN CORRIDORS OF POWER!

IT IS ABSOLUTELY ANATHEMA! THIS KIND OF AFFRONT AGAINST HUMAN RIGHTS AND SENSIBILITIES OF THE OVER 200 MILLION NIGERIANS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT WHERE POWER IS BROKERED BY THE PEOPLE IN A BOTTOM-TO-TOP APPROACH!

Please join the campaign to produce a brand new UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION NOW! Nigeria needs a PRIME MINISTER in 2023 and not the ABASED AND BANKRUPT PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM!
