Hon. Alapala Anthony Ebitonmo member representing Burutu Constituency 1, Delta State House of Assembly fiercely caution traducers slanderers, defamers vilifiers, maligners, libelers from making untrue and malicious publications against my father High Chief Government Ekpemupolo Alias Tompolo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s baseless, unscrupulous to link Tompolo my father to 21-days ultimatum to the Federal Government to release Nnamdi Kanu. This is purely the handiwork of desperate propagandists, fake news merchants paid to cause unnecessary tension, disunity in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The relentless sinistical movement to instigate the federal Government against Tompolo is a fruitless effort, fallen like a pack of cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exemplary commitment to national peace and development is topnotch. Tompolo security company through Tantita strategic initiative” and efforts to curb crude theft have led to a significant increase in output, currently hovering around 1.7 million to 1.8 million barrels per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tantita’s social responsibility focuses on community empowerment, infrastructure development, and environmental sustainability, with a significant emphasis on youth and the Niger Delta region. Key initiatives include providing employment through its security and sustainable rice farming projects, building community and police infrastructure, and donating educational resources like ICT equipment and building facilities. The company also engages in direct welfare for the vulnerable, financial grants for entrepreneurs, and efforts to reduce pollution from oil theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s evident that Chief Tompolo’s unwavering support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda has unsettled certain groups uncomfortable with his growing influence in advancing national stability and economic progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the avoidance of doubt, at no time did Chief Tompolo issued any statement or directive regarding the legal proceedings involving Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chief Tompolo is too busy with securing oil and gas infrastructure against oil theft and vandalism. Canvassing for more support through his PBAT Door to Door Movement for 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those spreading false news about my father should desist forthwith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
