Ex-Niger Delta militant leader, Government Ekpomukpolo, otherwise known as Tompolo, has warned President Goodluck Jonathan not to commission the $16 billion Export Processing Zone, EPZ, project billed for Friday, November 14, 2014, at Ogidigbenm in Warri South West local council of Delta State.
Addressing newsmen on Wednesday at Oporoza, in Gbaramatu kingdom, Delta State, Tompolo and some Ijaw youths expressed their anger over what they called an ‘unfair treatment on them.’
The angry youths said they are against the naming of the project after Ogidigben, an Itsekiri community and asked for a change in that. They also asked the Federal Government to set up the Gbaramatu Kingdom EPZ Interface Committee.
They warned that if their demands were not met by the FG and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, they may resort to self-help, which they say might be bloody.
Tompolo and his kinsmen further warned Jonathan that their peaceful disposition should not be seen as a sign of weakness. They asked the President to stay away from the planned Friday ceremony.
