The Mayor of Urhoboland and former warlord, Eshanekpe Israel, a.k.a Akpodoro, has condemned a group under the aegis of Niger Delta Legacy Group, a diaspora association of Nigerians who in a publication recently threatened to drag the Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation Limited, NNPCL Mele Kyari to the Hague and London in a planned massive protest.
Akpodoro in a statement issued to journalists on Friday noted that the group was up to one of their blackmails and vilification of the Chief Group Managing Director noting that this particular one will fail like the others before it.
The Jerome Anderson group had alleged lopsided patronage and favouritism of one group in the Niger Delta region above the others ostensibly to incite ansrchy a statement Mayor Akpodoro described as criminal misrepresentation of facts as he invited the diaspora group to return home to their kits and kins and to see things for themselves.
He said only a mischievous group like the Anderson’s can just hop out to make unsubstiated comments without any iota of commonsense. He noted that the so-called Legacy is only playing the scripts written by oil thieves whose business Government Ekpemukpolo’s Tantita Security Services is making difficult for them.
Mayor Akpodoro said the group leadership must thread softly lest it falls into trouble for its intend to mislead and misinform the Nigerian population adding that the pipeline security contract awarded Tomopolo was routed on the plank of merit and not mediocrity as he questioned the group if any of its members has the requirements to be awarded pipeline surveillance contract saying it is clear that corruption is fighting back in the creeks of the Niger Delta region.
Pointedly, Mayor Akpodoro argued that the “faceless legacy group perhaps is the diaspora arm of the career blackmailers hired by notable thieves in Nigeria who have vowed to pull down the Chairman of TSSNL and the NNPCL boss for daring to award the security contract to an impervious Tomopolo who has vowed a total crackdown on those who deal and wheel in stolen crude oil.
According to the vociferous Urhobo-born Mayor, nobody can remove a string of Kyari’s hair let alone pull him down from the exalted position where “the alchemy that makes heroes of mortal men has placed him.”
Akpodoro described the Anderson group as amateur players who are ill informed and badly motivated due to the rapacious nature of greed driven by avarice and whose desire is to stampede the NNPCL management into doing its bidding but tragically, the Mayor said that the unknown group has fallen face flat from its onset.
In the same, the Mayor said the greatest gaffe of the group he described as a bunch of hungry Nigerian diasporans who out of laziness could not earn a living in Nigeria but ran to Europe thinking it’s all bed of roses but unfortunately are stranded over there and the shortest course for them is to run aground Nigerian leaders for pecuniary benefits..
Weaving an ugly narratives about the painful Okuama massacre around Chief Ekpemukpolo, Akpodoro said the military authority knows the killers of the military personnel after who the army have launched manhunt.
Tompolo is too sophisticated and mentally stable to stoop so low as to take part in the killing of army officers who are germane to the success of his security operatives in that axis of the Nigerian waters.
He said the “faceless group is in want of what to say to their scanty followers. Tompolo solidly remains the most envied, the most viciously attacked, lied upon, blamailed… but he has shown capacity, competence, discipline and sagacity in execution of the national assignment given him by the federal government of Nigeria and there’s no going back.
“That reckless group who pride itself as Niger Delta Legacy Group lacks the moral rectitude to point ugly fingers at the duo of Topolo and Kyari. They didn’t cause their problems but laziness and idle mindedness, mental and psychological poverty are to blame for their predicaments.
“Niger Deltans back home are united and are seriously pursuing a twin purpose of peace and unity in our land Anderson and his group of badly brought up leadership with terrible conscience should look elsewhere and leave the Kyari-led NNPCL to deliver on his mandate given him by the FG.”
