A Northern Youths group under the agies of Arewa Youth Assembly, had called on the Management of Nigerian National Patroleum Corporation,NNPC that the Company should not award Contract to Oweizide Ekpemupolo popularly known as Government Tompolo.
The group further said”at the disposal of the Arewa Youth Assembly is that, the NNPC limited under the leadership of Mallam Mpele Kolo Kyari and the Federal Government is planning to assign the job of pipelines surveillance to an enemy of state, a militant, a renowned pipeline vandalizer, Oweizide Ekpemupolo popularly known as Government Tompolo.
In a press statement Signed and made available to Journalist in Kaduna by group Duputy Speaker, Abdulsalam Mohammed Kazeem.
Explained that “This is not only surprising but unbelievable that as a nation, we will entrust our most viable source of revenue to a notorious oil bunkrer. Bunkry is synonymous to Tompolo, his name signifies pipeline vandalism, oil theft and mutilation of government facilities and above all militancy.
“To we the youths of Northern Nigeria, Tompolo is on the same radar with terrorists like Abubakar Shekau, Bello Turji, Nnamdi Kanu, Sunday Igboho, Mohammed Yusuf among others, who sees nothing good in the country, rather clamour for its destruction, disregarding its unity, and showing maximum disrespect for the rule of law and Government of the day.
“As youths of this region who have been keen observers of Governance as it affects the citizens and the nation in general, we will not fold our hands and watch the Government make such a grave mistake of awarding a sensible contract of this nature to an un-deserving, un-patriotic, un-sucruplous enemy of the land.
“We therefore as a matter of national urgency advice, beg, call and plead with the NNPC LTD to save our national asset by not awarding it to Tompolo, as the effect will be deleterious to the nations economy. If on the other hand this contract is awarded to him, terrorist like Bello Turji, Nnamdi Kanu and the rest will be looking to get the contract of securing the villa, the first family and the president of the federal republic of Nigeria.
“In other for our youths and future generation to learn that hardwork pays and to shun cultism, militancy, cyber crime, such people like Tompolo should not be taken serious let alone be given any of our national asset to secure.
“Advice is cheap, it doesn’t cost anything to give an advice.To be forewarned is to be forearemed A leopard cannot change its spots.
