The Ibe-Ebidouwei of Ijaw Nation and Chairman of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has dismissed a viral social media publication claiming he issued a 21-day ultimatum to the Federal Government for the release of detained IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
In a statement signed by his media consultant, Dr. Paul Bebenimibo, described the report as “false, malicious, and the handiwork of enemies” bent on tarnishing his reputation and undermining his ongoing efforts to curb illegal crude oil operations in the Niger Delta.
“Tompolo did not author the said publication. He has nothing to do with the issue of Nnamdi Kanu,” the statement read. “It is clearly the handiwork of those who want to discredit and pull him down because of his stance against illegal crude oil activities in the region.”
Bebenimibo emphasized that despite the smear attempts, the Ijaw leader remains resolute in his mission to eliminate oil theft and other illicit activities in the Niger Delta.
Reaffirming his loyalty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the statement added that Tompolo “is fully in support of the renewed hope agenda” and remains committed to its success.
“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 agenda of his government,” the statement continued.
It further noted that the Ibe-Ebidouwei of Ijaw nation not only stands by the President but also endorses his bid for a second term in office.
The statement urged the public and the Federal Government to disregard the false publication, reiterating that Tompolo remains focused on promoting peace, stability, and national development.
