Stop Dragging Tompolo Name To Hit Up Tension, Egbesu Brotherhood Warns Enemies Of Progress

Francis Tayor

A Niger Delta Traditional Religious organization under the aegis of Egbesu Brotherhood has warned enemies of progress, especially rumor/war mongers to henceforth stop meddling the name of their reverend leader, High Chief. Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo into the already tensed situation in the country, stressing that Tompolo's recent trending thanksgiving service photos/videos online was to celebrate his freedom victory at Federal High Court, Lagos on July 15th, this year.

The group in a Press Statement released on Friday 23rd, October and signed by its National Deputy Coordinator, Comrade Ellington Bakumor stated that Tompolo's freedom victory thanksgiving service only coincided with the #ENDSARS Protest in the country, and that Tompolo does not plan to declare any war against Nigerian government as being alleged by rumor mongers and enemies of progress. 

"  He only pray for peace, progress, prosperity and development in ljawland, Niger Delta and Nigeria as a whole, warning those war mongers to stay clear from Tompolo's personality, Bakumor stated."

According to the Press Statement, read: "It has come to our notice that there is a fake news or rather a propaganda flying around that our reverend leader, High Chief. Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo has been trending on twitter, and other social media platform for the past few days.  

These war mongers who were busy pushing for the country to burnt  down seemed to be in jubilant mode that a new video which surfaced of him dancing in a crowd of followers was a rehearsal to declare war on Nigeria. This is absolutely not True, as he was only celebrating his High Court victory and had nothing to do with war, that must have just been a coincidence.

They are suddenly looking for who will have the war chest to join a war they wanted without any plan. 

We are calling on the general public to note that Tompolo is not out for war, he was simply thanking the Deities of Ijaw land for his court victory and also praying for the peace of Ijaw nation, the Niger delta and Nigeria at large. Tompolo also doesn’t run a social media account, he’s neither on facebook, Twitter or Instagram, he doesn’t even have a personal email address.

Hence we urge those using his picture for any form of social media or protest to stop while we charged rumor and war mongers to embrace peace and dialogue and not use the face of our leader for their wicked agenda or propaganda, even as I call on genuine protesters to suspend protests for now as criminal elements have infiltrated the ranks to wreck havoc, which defeats the purpose of the protest. 

We should be able to conduct ourselves in a civilized manner. I also want to use this medium to advice delta state Youths to please Obey the curfew Order of his Excellency, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, while restrategizing on a more peaceful approach in addressing our concerns to the Government."
