He has nothing to do with the issue of Nnamdi Kanu. This is clearly the handiwork of his enemies, seeking to discredit him because of his stand against illegal crude oil activities in the Niger Delta,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Bebenimibo emphasized that Tompolo remains committed to eradicating oil theft and illegal bunkering in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTompolo will not relent in carrying out his duties to completely eradicate illegal oil activities in the Niger Delta,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reaffirming his support for the Federal Government, Tompolo expressed loyalty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and endorsed the President for a second term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe wish to reassure the Federal Government that Tompolo stands firmly with the President and fully supports the Renewed Hope Agenda.
