High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo alias Tompolo today rejected as fake news and disinformation of a trending story about Nnamdi Kanu and himself .
Tompolo flatly rejected the news that he gave the federal government 21 day ultimatum to release Nnamdi Kanu, adding that his loyalty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was total and unapologetic, adding that he was behind the second term bid of the president.
In a statement signed by Dr Paul Bebenimibo, media consultant to Tompolo, said the fake news was borne out of envy and those who are desperate to steal the nation crude oil.
He therefore called on the public to ignore the news as fake and tissue of disinformation.
Below is the full press statement.
Re: Tompolo gives FG 21 days to release Nnamdi Kanu.
The attention of High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, the Ibe-Ebidouwei of Ijaw Nation and Chairman of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited has been drawn to the above subject matter, which is trending in some social media platforms.
We wish to state unequivocally and unambiguously that, Tompolo did not author the said publication. 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. These 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 agenda of his govenment. We wish to add that Tompolo remains firm and reafirm 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.
Signed:
Dr Paul Bebenimibo
Media Consultant to High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo
