Pere of Gbaramatu advises Buhari on Tompolo
The Pere of Gbaramatu, HRM Oboro Gbaraun II has said the manhunt for High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, who is one of his subjects, was politically motivated and urged President Muhammadu Buhari not to see Tompolo as an adversary to facilitate the peace process.
“Political aggression against one another will not bring peace to anyone. I appeal to the President Muhammadu Buhari -led federal government not to take up political aggression against High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, but to see him as his son so as to stop pipeline vandalism and restore peace back in the Niger Delta region.”
The Agadagba denied that members of the new militant group, Niger Delta Avengers, were his subjects, saying: “The accusation is untrue and unfounded; we do not know the Avengers. We do not know their whereabouts.”
He warned members of the militant group to stop pipeline vandalism and other criminal activities in his domain, pointing out that he had given a marching order to all his chiefs to secure their various communities with a view to preventing further pipeline vandalism in Gbaramatu kingdom.
The Agadagba also appealed to the Federal Government to engage the youths meaningfully by giving consent to the commencement of academic activities at the Maritime University of Nigeria.
