Ex-militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo also known as Tompolo on Monday dismissed reports that he issued an ultimatum to President Muhammadu Buhari to withdraw soldiers from the Niger Delta region or he would blow up oil installations.
Debunking the reports, Tompolo’s Media Adviser, Paul Bebenimibo said, “We wish to state categorically that the report that Tompolo gave the President ultimatum is not from him, rather it is the work of those that have sworn to kill him by all means, but Jehovah God forbid.
“Tompolo has stated before now, that he will not resort to violence or destroy oil facilities because of the issue he is having with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
“No amount of provocation and persecution can make him to destroy the country that he has helped to build in recent time. He will wisely continue to pursue his course legally.”
“It is Tompolo’s prayer for those that are pushing for his death to have a re-think as he believes fervently in Jehovah God, Who sees the heart of every human being, knows that he has no evil intention against Nigeria or any individual.Therefore, he will come out stronger in the face of these temptations and trials,” Bebenimibo said.
