“Those Who Have Ears Should Hear” – Tompolo Speaks From Hiding
Government Ekpemupolo, the ex-militant leader better known as Tompolo, says “those who have ears should hear”.
Tompolo, who has been in hiding since the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) declared him wanted, said this while denying reports linking him to the fresh threat issued by the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), a militant group.
The statement reads: “The attention of High Chief , the Ibe-ebidouwei of Ijaw Nation has been drawn to media statements by the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) and the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers (RNDA), accusing him of working with the Federal Government of Nigeria, thereby maligning the Niger Delta region on one hand, and working against the Federal Government of Nigeria as brain behind the planned attack of oil facilities in the region on the other hand,” he said in a statement issued on his behalf by Paul Bebenibo, his spokesman.
“Ordinarily, we would have ignored these media statements by these so-called avengers and reformed Avengers because it is not a new tactics by these groups in bringing Tompolo’s name to whatever thing that happens in the Niger Delta region because of his legal battle with the government.
“Let it be stated at this point that Tompolo is not the only person having legal issues with the present government. Let us also state here that these accusations do not take away the fact that our dear country is at a crossroads.
“Eminent Nigerians have repeatedly said in recent time that Nigeria has never been divided like this since her independence in 1960. It is our sincerely advice to the government to urgently address the issues that are trending in the country’s political domain.
“The Restructuring/True Federalism, Participation of Niger Deltans in the oil industry, the Ogoni clean-up campaign, relocation of the headquarters of the International Oil Companies, Establishment of Modular Refineries, Resumption of academic activities in the Nigerian Maritime University, Okerenkoko, and so on, are very germane issues that the government needs to address now, so as to shame mischievous elements in the polity.
“We wish to reiterate our earlier stand that nothing will make Tompolo resort to destruction of oil facilities, he once protected in a contractual arrangement. Those that have ears, let them hear!”
Recall that the Niger Delta Avengers had on Friday announced that it had called off the ceasefire, citing alleged insincerity on the part of the government.
Some critics had said Tompolo, who lost a case in court last week, was behind NDA’s attempt to renew hostilities.

THE REASONS WHY BIAFRA SHOULD BE!!!! _____________________
1) In 1993, Israeli company established a Tomatoe factory in Anambra State, the govt of Nigeria frustrated it out because it will benefit the region.
2) Bath Nnaji built a Gas Power Station in Abia State to serve some parts of South East and South South region for industrialisation of the zone. The govt of the North forced them to hook it up to Useless Nepa. Since it was not possible, they frustrated it out.
3) S/East presented a bill in National Assembly for the establishment of S East Devpt commission, the north played it down.
4) Niger Bridge is weak and may collapse one day, S/East will be cut off from South South and South West. Nigeria govt abandoned it.
5) All zones in the country have 6 states each, except S/East. The North played it down.
6) All commissioners of Police in S/East are all Hausa people, no security for the indigens.
7) Anambra State built the first Independent Refinery in the country, after completion, the North started dragging the ownership that it was built on their land. Just to be sure it doesn’t favour the South East people.
Finally, they are constantly killing, maiming, rapping our people and women respectively, and planning to force Islam on our people.
Why should we not be on our own to determine our own destiny.
SUPPORT BIAFRA INDEPENDENCE FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR NEXT GENERATION!!!!!
