A coalition of Phase I, II, and III ex-agitator leaders has accused oil thieves of orchestrating recent protests in the United States against Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, and the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Dr. Dennis Otuaro.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the group’s spokesperson, Emma Satu, described the protests as “baseless, wicked, and a failed attempt by those championing instability in the Niger Delta region.” Satu called on the United Nations and the international community to disregard allegations of oil racketeering, unlawful detention, human trafficking, and slavery leveled against Tompolo and Otuaro.
“We will not stand by and allow a set of wicked and devilish connivers to sabotage the progress we have achieved or tarnish the image of our Ijaw leaders. Enough is enough,” Satu said.
Satu urged President Bola Tinubu, the Governors of Rivers, Bayelsa, and Delta states, as well as the President of the Ijaw National Congress (INC), Prof. Benjamin Okaba, to intervene and address what he described as malicious media attacks. He also called on security agencies to investigate allegations made by a whistleblower identified as Jude Gbaboyor.
The coalition called for unity among Ijaw leaders and warned against the “pull-down syndrome” that threatens progress in the region. “We are appealing to all Ijaw sons and daughters to be united in purpose,” Satu said
