Pipeline Surveillance Job, Face Your Olu's Contract... Activist Warn Itsekiri Leaders 

Niger Delta Human Rights Activist, comrade Daniel Ezekiel has berated ltsekiri leaders for calling on 

the Federal Government to decentralize the pipeline security contract awarded to the Niger Delta living legend, High Chief Government Ekpemukpolo alias Tompolo.

The activist in a statement to FocalPoint Reports, on Thursday,

reacted with displeasure and strongly condemned Itsekiri leaders Who were led by Hon. Michael Diden to call for the decentralization of Tompolo's Surveillance contract, during a visit to High Chief Bibopere Ajube (Shoot-at-sight) at his Agadagba-Obon, residence in Ese-Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State, 

Ezekiel Daniel described those who visited Bibopere Ajube as self-proclaimed Itsekiri leaders and their voices are nothing good but mere distractions and should not be taken seriously.

He added that the statements made by the so-called Itsekiri leaders are provocative, misguided, and capable of causing ethnic crisis if Ijaws decide to give attention to them. He warned them to steer clear of Tompolo's Surveillance contract and focus attention on their Olu of Warri who have the largest chunk of contract.

According to him, "This outburst is very provocative, a clear recipe for crisis between peace-loving Ijaws and their Itsekiri neighbors.

"It is pertinent to ask these questions at this point; which contract should be decentralized to Kuku and Bibopere because the last time l checked, the Arogbo axis which they came from had no single drop of oil and pipeline, so what are these disgruntled elements going to protect ?. 

"Also, it is a well-known fact that Olu of Warri has the biggest chunk of the job that spans across Delta, Edo, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and Cross Rivers states. What stopped these hypocritical Itsekiri leaders from also demanding the decentralization of their kinsmen's jobs?

"If they are sincere and truly want fairness? Without mincing words, their press statement is born out of age-long hatred for Ijaws, which if allowed to continue will be detrimental to the well-being of the state.

"Action they say speaks louder than words. In the jaundice press release, both sides proclaimed fidelity to peace which is a clear opposite to their body language and outburst. 

"The reason why there is so much animosity, ganged up and hatred towards Tantita is because of the none compromising nature with which Tompolo is fighting oil thieves and other economic sabotage acts, which these guys are deeply into".
