The Ibe-Ebidouwei of the Ijaw nation, Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, has denied the report on social media linking him with a 21-day ultimatum to the Federal Government over the continued detention of the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
His Media Consultan, Dr Paul Bebenimibo, made this rebuttal
in a statement in Warri on Sunday.
The statement explained that Tompolo did not author the said
publication, adding that he has nothing to do with the issue of Nnamdi Kanu.
“High Chief Ekpemupolo has nothing to do with the issue of
Nnamdi Kanu. It is clearly the handwork 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.
“It is clearly the handiwork 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 agenda of his government,” the statement said.
Human rights activist, Omoyele
Sowore, recently led a protest in Abuja to demand the immediate release of the
detained IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
Recall that on Friday the Federal High Court in Abuja
adjourned Kanu’s trial till Monday, October 27, to enable him to open his
defence in the terrorism charges filed against him.
